Is boto3 healthy, maintained, and safe?
Yes — boto3 looks healthy, actively maintained, and free of known advisories today.
The verdict
On the OSPulse health scale, boto3 lands at 100/100 — minimal risk, computed deterministically from live PyPI release history, and the OSV vulnerability database. Yes — boto3 looks healthy, actively maintained, and free of known advisories today.
Its most recent release shipped on 27 July 2026 — 0 days ago — so development is clearly active. Across 2080 releases the cadence has been steady, which is a good sign of an ongoing maintenance rhythm. PyPI doesn't expose a reliable maintainer count, so bus-factor isn't scored here — treat maintenance depth as unknown rather than assumed.
Security-wise, boto3 currently has a clean OSV record — no published advisories. Keep in mind that reflects what's been disclosed, not a guarantee of safety.
The signals are green today, but a clean snapshot is not a standing guarantee — packages drift. This is a one-time snapshot of a single package — real projects depend on dozens or hundreds of packages, and any one of them can drift or be compromised between releases.
