New Relic provides a cloud‑native observability platform that aggregates application performance metrics, distributed traces, logs, and security data into a unified telemetry pipeline. The service offers automatic instrumentation for major runtimes, AI‑driven anomaly detection, customizable dashboards, and integrated cost and security insights, billed on usage of telemetry volume.

Problem
Engineering teams often rely on multiple, siloed monitoring tools to track application performance, infrastructure health, logs, and security events. This fragmentation makes it hard to obtain end‑to‑end visibility, slows root‑cause analysis, and drives unnecessary operational costs.
Solution
New Relic delivers an intelligent observability platform that consolidates application performance monitoring (APM), infrastructure metrics, log management, security testing, and digital‑experience monitoring into a single, cloud‑native service. The platform automatically instruments supported runtimes and cloud services, normalizes metrics, traces, and logs, and enriches them with AI‑driven anomaly detection and predictive alerts. Engineers can explore the unified data model through customizable dashboards, query language (NRQL), and integrated service maps, enabling faster debugging and data‑driven decision making. Usage‑based pricing and a generous free tier let organizations scale without over‑provisioning, while 780+ pre‑built integrations reduce onboarding effort.
Target Audience
The primary customers are engineering, DevOps, and SRE teams at mid‑size to enterprise organizations building cloud‑native, microservice‑based applications.
Features
- Unified telemetry pipeline that ingests metrics, distributed traces, and logs from any source and correlates them across the full stack.
- Automatic, low‑overhead instrumentation for Java, Node.js, .NET, Python, Go, and serverless runtimes (AWS Lambda, Azure Functions, GCP Cloud Functions).
- AI‑powered alerts and anomaly detection that surface performance regressions and security vulnerabilities in real time.
- Interactive dashboards, service maps, and NRQL query interface for ad‑hoc analysis and custom visualizations.
- Digital experience monitoring including Real‑User Monitoring (RUM), synthetic testing, and session replay for web and mobile apps.
- Integrated security capabilities such as Interactive Application Security Testing (IAST) and Security RX vulnerability management.
- Cloud Cost Intelligence that attributes spend to services and suggests optimization opportunities.
- OpenTelemetry support and 780+ ready‑to‑use integrations with major cloud providers, CI/CD pipelines, and third‑party tools.
