New Relic has acquired Ducksboard, a provider of real-time dashboards for tracking business metrics from a broad set of application sources.
Ducksboard works with innovative brands, helping them bring together, visualize and monitor data from 65 SaaS and other applications in a single place. The addition of the Ducksboard technology complements the New Relic visualization expertise and will readily expand the sources of data that are available to customers via the New Relic Software Analytics data cloud. Ducksboard bolsters New Relic’s commitment to providing the most comprehensive Software Analytics platform on the market, used by people across an organization to get real-time answers to important business questions.
Founded in 2011 by Diego Mariño, Jan Urbański and Aitor Guevara, Ducksboard was funded by Spanish venture capital firms Kibo Ventures and Cabiedes & Partners, and by several key angel investors. Ducksboard was created on the principle that an organization’s data, despite often originating from a variety of complex sources, should be easily accessible in one easy-to-use place.
Ducksboard provides cloud-based dashboard capabilities that leverage a broad variety of business and technical sources, helping customers visualize and monitor data from the various applications they use in a single platform. Ducksboard can access data from 65 applications, including Facebook, GitHub, Google Analytics, New Relic, salesforce.com, Twitter and Zendesk. Ducksboard enables users to show data from multiple external applications alongside internal metrics, and to create dashboards and widgets for visualization through simple API calls. Ducksboard is used by over 700 businesses and since the company’s founding, their customers have created over 50,000 dashboards.
New Relic will continue to offer the current version of the Ducksboard product and will announce new and expanded capabilities as they become available.
“Ducksboard realized early how valuable it is for a business to have all of their data in one place and they created a real-time platform that is robust, intuitive and beautifully designed,” said Lew Cirne, CEO and founder of New Relic. “Their work is a great match with our vision of providing businesses the data insights they need quickly and easily so they can make the important decisions to run their companies. With Ducksboard now part of the New Relic family, we are eager to work together to innovate around data visualization, but are also very excited about the expanded types of business data that Ducksboard can bring into our comprehensive Software Analytics suite.”
“Our vision at Ducksboard has always been to democratize data so that any company, no matter the size, has all the data they need in order to make better business decisions,” said Diego Mariño, co-founder of Ducksboard. “We are thrilled to be joining New Relic, a world-class company and innovative leader in the software analytics space, with a customer base that ranges from hot startups and innovative small businesses to some of the largest brands in the world."

Like most digital transformation shifts, organizations often prioritize productivity and leave security and observability to keep pace. This usually translates to both the mass implementation of new technology and fragmented monitoring and observability (M&O) tooling. In the era of AI and varied cloud architecture, a disparate observability function can be dangerous. IT teams will lack a complete picture of their IT environment, making it harder to diagnose issues while slowing down mean time to resolve (MTTR). In fact, according to recent data from the SolarWinds State of Monitoring & Observability Report, 77% of IT personnel said the lack of visibility across their on-prem and cloud architecture was an issue ...
In MEAN TIME TO INSIGHT Episode 23, Shamus McGillicuddy, VP of Research, Network Infrastructure and Operations, at EMA discusses the NetOps labor shortage ...
Technology management is evolving, and in turn, so is the scope of FinOps. The FinOps Foundation recently updated their mission statement from "advancing the people who manage the value of cloud" to "advancing the people who manage the value of technology." This seemingly small change solidifies a larger evolution: FinOps practitioners have organically expanded to be focused on more than just cloud cost optimization. Today, FinOps teams are largely — and quickly — expanding their job descriptions, evolving into a critical function for managing the full value of technology ...
Enterprises are under pressure to scale AI quickly. Yet despite considerable investment, adoption continues to stall. One of the most overlooked reasons is vendor sprawl ... In reality, no organization deliberately sets out to create sprawling vendor ecosystems. More often, complexity accumulates over time through well-intentioned initiatives, such as enterprise-wide digital transformation efforts, point solutions, or decentralized sourcing strategies ...
Nearly every conversation about AI eventually circles back to compute. GPUs dominate the headlines while cloud platforms compete for workloads and model benchmarks drive investment decisions. But underneath that noise, a quieter infrastructure challenge is taking shape. The real bottleneck in enterprise AI is not processing power, it is the ability to store, manage and retrieve the relentless volumes of data that AI systems generate, consume and multiply ...
The 2026 Observability Survey from Grafana Labs paints a vivid picture of an industry maturing fast, where AI is welcomed with careful conditions, SaaS economics are reshaping spending decisions, complexity remains a defining challenge, and open standards continue to underpin it all ...
The observability industry has an evolving relationship with AI. We're not skeptics, but it's clear that trust in AI must be earned ... In Grafana Labs' annual Observability Survey, 92% said they see real value in AI surfacing anomalies before they cause downtime. Another 91% endorsed AI for forecasting and root cause analysis. So while the demand is there, customers need it to be trustworthy, as the survey also found that the practitioners most enthusiastic about AI are also the most insistent on explainability ...
In the modern enterprise, the conversation around AI has moved past skepticism toward a stage of active adoption. According to our 2026 State of IT Trends Report: The Human Side of Autonomous AI, nearly 90% of IT professionals view AI as a net positive, and this optimism is well-founded. We are seeing agentic AI move beyond simple automation to actively streamlining complex data insights and eliminating the manual toil that has long hindered innovation. However, as we integrate these autonomous agents into our ecosystems, the fundamental DNA of the IT role is evolving ...
AI workloads require an enormous amount of computing power ... What's also becoming abundantly clear is just how quickly AI's computing needs are leading to enterprise systems failure. According to Cockroach Labs' State of AI Infrastructure 2026 report, enterprise systems are much closer to failure than their organizations realize. The report ... suggests AI scale could cause widespread failures in as little as one year — making it a clear risk for business performance and reliability.
The quietest week your engineering team has ever had might also be its best. No alarms going off. No escalations. No frantic Teams or Slack threads at 2 a.m. Everything humming along exactly as it should. And somewhere in a leadership meeting, someone looks at the metrics dashboard, sees a flat line of incidents and says: "Seems like things are pretty calm over there. Do we really need all those people?" ... I've spent many years in engineering, and this pattern keeps repeating ...
