+# Usage with Taskiq
+
+There is no Taskiq bootstrapper: a worker uses `FreeBootstrapper`, plus Taskiq's own OpenTelemetry
+instrumentation for task spans.
+
+## 1. Install `lite-bootstrap[free-all]` and `taskiq[opentelemetry]`:
+
+=== "uv"
+
+      ```bash
+      uv add "lite-bootstrap[free-all]" "taskiq[opentelemetry]"
+      ```
+
+=== "pip"
+
+      ```bash
+      pip install "lite-bootstrap[free-all]" "taskiq[opentelemetry]"
+      ```
+
+=== "poetry"
+
+      ```bash
+      poetry add "lite-bootstrap[free-all]" "taskiq[opentelemetry]"
+      ```
+
+On free-threaded CPython, install the instrument extras you need instead of `free-all`, with
+`otl-http` in place of `otl`, e.g. `lite-bootstrap[sentry,logging,otl-http]`. Read more about
+available extras [here](../introduction/installation.md).
+
+## 2. Bootstrap in the worker:
+
+```python
+from taskiq import TaskiqEvents, TaskiqState
+from taskiq.instrumentation import TaskiqInstrumentor
+
+from lite_bootstrap import FreeBootstrapper, FreeConfig
+
+
+broker = ...  # your broker
+
+
+@broker.on_event(TaskiqEvents.WORKER_STARTUP)
+async def bootstrap_observability(state: TaskiqState) -> None:
+    state.bootstrapper = FreeBootstrapper(
+        FreeConfig(
+            service_name="my-worker",
+            opentelemetry_endpoint="otl",
+            sentry_dsn="https://testdsn@localhost/1",
+        )
+    )
+    state.bootstrapper.bootstrap()
+    TaskiqInstrumentor().instrument_broker(broker)
+
+
+@broker.on_event(TaskiqEvents.WORKER_SHUTDOWN)
+async def teardown_observability(state: TaskiqState) -> None:
+    state.bootstrapper.teardown()
+```
+
+`instrument_broker` adds Taskiq's `OpenTelemetryMiddleware` to the broker you already built, and its
+spans go to the `TracerProvider` lite-bootstrap has just installed. `TaskiqInstrumentor().instrument()`
+is not a substitute: it patches `AsyncBroker.__init__`, so it only reaches brokers built after it runs.
+
+Read more about available configuration options [here](../introduction/configuration.md).
+
+## Client and worker processes
+
+One broker object serves both the processes that send tasks and the `taskiq worker` processes that
+run them. The handlers above fire on the worker events only, so a client process is left alone: it
+belongs to its own framework's bootstrapper, e.g. `FastAPIBootstrapper` in the web app that calls
+`.kiq()`. Bootstrapping when the broker's module is imported would run in that process too, and set
+up logging and tracing a second time.
+
+## Metrics
+
+lite-bootstrap has no Taskiq metrics. Taskiq's own `taskiq.middlewares.PrometheusMiddleware`
+(`taskiq[metrics]`) provides them, with two side effects to know about: its constructor sets
+`PROMETHEUS_MULTIPROC_DIR` for the whole process, and it serves metrics from its own HTTP server on
+`server_port` (default `9000`) rather than on `prometheus_metrics_path`.
+
+## Sentry
+
+`sentry-python` has no Taskiq integration, and none is needed for failing tasks: Taskiq's receiver
+logs a task's exception with `logger.exception`, which the `LoggingIntegration` lite-bootstrap adds
+reports as an error event. Spans and breadcrumbs follow the Sentry configuration as usual.
