Latest news about New Relic

2023. New Relic launches Grok, its AI observability assistant



Enterprises and related companies are currently in the midst of integrating large language models into their services. New Relic has announced its own offering Grok, which it claims is the first generative AI assistant for observability. The aim is to leverage a large language model to assist engineers in performing routine tasks within New Relic, such as setting up instrumentation, creating reports, and managing accounts using natural language. The use of these models provides a significant advantage in helping engineers analyze the large amounts of data collected by the service, which is crucial not only for ensuring the performance of a given service but also for managing its associated costs - an increasingly important concern for most enterprises.

2022. New Relic enters the security market with its new vulnerability management service



New Relic, which has long been known for its observability platform, is entering the security market today with the launch of a new vulnerability management service. Aptly named New Relic Vulnerability Management, the service aggregates data from both its own native vulnerability detection system and third-party tools, giving security, DevOps, SecOps and SRE teams a single service for monitoring their software stack for vulnerabilities. The company argues that one if its major differentiators is that this new tool can integrate with third-party security tools. This in turn should help teams prioritize which security risks to focus on (because there are always more than any team can handle), with the new service also helping them to identify which actions to take to remediate those risks).


2022. New Relic launches its new infrastructure monitoring experience



In 2020, New Relic launched its New Relic One platform, its attempt to bring together the many point solutions the company had built over the course of the years under a single umbrella. Last year, New Relic built on top of this — and its NRDB data storage system — with improved network monitoring, an ML model performance monitoring and error tracking tool and more. Today, the company is putting one of the last pieces of this project in place with the general availability of its new infrastructure monitoring experience. Designed to help DevOps, SRE and ITOps teams monitor their infrastructure and quickly resolve issues across public, private and hybrid cloud environments, this new solution is now available to New Relic users.


2020. New Relic acquires Kubernetes observability platform Pixie Labs



New Relic, the publicly traded monitoring and observability platform company has acquired Kubernetes observability platform Pixie Labs. The Pixie Labs brand and product will remain in place and allow New Relic to extend its platform to the edge. From the outset, the Pixie Labs team designed the service to focus on providing observability for cloud-native workloads running on Kubernetes clusters. And while most similar tools focus on operators and IT teams, Pixie set out to build a tool that developers would want to use. Using eBPF, a relatively new way to extend the Linux kernel, the Pixie platform can collect data right at the source and without the need for an agent.


2020. New Relic is changing its pricing model to encourage broader monitoring



In the monitoring world, typically when you spin up a new instance, you pay a fee to monitor it. If you are particularly active in any given month, that can result in a hefty bill at the end of the month. That leads to limiting what you choose to monitor, to control costs. New Relic wants to change that and is moving to a model where customers pay by the user instead, with a smaller, less costly data component. The company is also simplifying its product set with the goal of encouraging customers to instrument everything instead of deciding what to monitor and what to leave out to control cost.


2014. Mobile analytics startup New Relic is now a billion-dollar company



New Relic, that provides app-monitoring on a SaaS-basis, ended first day of trading as a billion-dollar company. The share price ended up being 47 percent higher than the $23.00 share price it set on Thursday, and makes the company worth roughly $1.5 billion. New Relic offers SaaS Software Analytics Platform that offers Application Performance Management and Real User Monitoring for Cloud and Data Center deployed web applications implemented in Ruby, Java, .NET, Python, PHP, Node.js. New Relic also offers mobile monitoring solutions for iOS and Android applications. The company is aiming full-steam ahead for the new year and compared his company to a football player that just made the big leagues.


2014. Application-monitoring platform provider New Relic files for an IPO



Application-monitoring startup New Relic has filed for an initial public offering. In the filing, the company reported revenue of $63.2 million for 2014, which was up from last year’s $29.7 million. New Relic was founded in 2007 and unveiled its first product in 2008. In early October, New Relic bought out Barcelona-based startup Ducksboard, whose technology allows New Relic to hook into various cloud services, aggregate the data and generate a dashboard. New Relic also rolled out it long-awaited Insights real-time analytics service in July that can allegedly generate more information on top of all of the data the New Relic platform collects. The startup is not alone in the application analytics space. It competes with startups like AppDynamics, ThousandEyes and AppNeta.
