[bot] Instrument Deepgram (659,820 weekly downloads) #2294

Description

@braintrust-bot

<!-- library-gap-audit: deepgram-node-sdk -->

Summary

Deepgram publishes an official Node/TypeScript SDK, @deepgram/sdk on npm, providing execution APIs for prerecorded and live/streaming speech-to-text transcription, and text-to-speech generation. This repository has zero instrumentation for any Deepgram SDK surface — no wrapper, no diagnostics channel, no plugin, no auto-instrumentation config, no e2e scenario.

What's missing

Execution surfaces exposed by @deepgram/sdk that are not instrumented:

SDK Method Description
client.listen.v1.media.transcribeFile({ model, ... }) Prerecorded audio transcription
client.listen.v1.connect({ model, language, ... }) Live/streaming transcription over a WebSocket-style connection
client.speak.v1.audio.generate({ text, model, ... }) Text-to-speech generation
client.agent.v1.connect(...) / connection.sendAgentV1Settings(...) Conversational voice agent execution
client.read.v1.text.analyze(...) Text intelligence (sentiment/topic/intent) execution

None of these are covered by existing provider instrumentation — the SDK has its own fetch/WebSocket-based client and does not depend on openai or any already-instrumented package.

No coverage in any instrumentation layer:

  • No wrapper function (e.g. wrapDeepgram()) in js/src/wrappers/
  • No channel definitions or plugin in js/src/instrumentation/plugins/
  • No auto-instrumentation config in js/src/auto-instrumentations/configs/
  • No e2e test scenario under e2e/scenarios/
  • Repo-wide grep for deepgram (case-insensitive) returns zero matches anywhere in the repo

Braintrust docs status

not_found. Deepgram does not appear anywhere on the Braintrust integrations index page — https://www.braintrust.dev/docs/integrations — which lists AI-provider and framework integrations but has no entry for Deepgram or any speech-to-text/voice provider. The page's only guidance for unlisted providers is the generic AI Proxy gateway (/docs/deploy/ai-proxy) or contacting Braintrust to request an integration.
