## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Automatically instruments psycopg2 database connections to emit OpenTelemetry traces, capturing SQL queries and database operations for observability.

Verdict: A well-maintained, actively developed instrumentation library in beta status with no known vulnerabilities and permissive licensing. Low install friction and broad Python 3.10+ support make it suitable for production observability pipelines, though its beta classification warrants monitoring for API changes.
