🚨 Deprecation Notice: OpenTelemetry Components Moving to New Repository

[dayaffe]

Effective Date: December 10, 2025
Removal Date: March 10, 2026

What's Changing

All OpenTelemetry-related code in smithy-swift is being moved to a new dedicated repository: smithy-swift-opentelemetry. This means that opentelemetry-swift and dependencies unique to it will no longer be included by default for customers who don't use it.

Action Required

If you're using OpenTelemetry functionality from smithy-swift, migrate to the new smithy-swift-opentelemetry package before March 10, 2026.

Migration Steps

1. Update your Package.swift dependencies:

  dependencies: [
      .package(url: "https://github.com/smithy-lang/smithy-swift-opentelemetry", from: "1.0.0"),
      .package(url: "https://github.com/open-telemetry/opentelemetry-swift", from: "1.13.0"),
  ]

2. Update your imports:

  // Old
  import ClientRuntime // OpenTelemetry components

  // New
  import SmithyOpenTelemetry
  import InMemoryExporter  // or your preferred exporter

3. Update telemetry provider initialization:

  let spanExporter = InMemoryExporter()
  let telemetryProvider = OpenTelemetrySwift.provider(spanExporter: spanExporter)
