New Relic announced a number of innovations and enhancements for companies rapidly adopting modern software architectures, including serverless application monitoring.
Serverless technologies, including Amazon Web Services (AWS) Lambda, allow modern teams to rapidly deploy new applications and updates into production. Available in private beta, New Relic’s serverless application monitoring provides enhanced visibility into AWS Lambda function invocations, event sources and connected services. Leveraging this powerful data, DevOps teams can more rapidly build and troubleshoot production-quality applications using AWS functions-as-a-service.
In addition to serverless application monitoring, New Relic announced the following new features:
- Enhanced support for container orchestration: With support for Amazon Elastic Container Services for Kubernetes (Amazon EKS) version eks.2, New Relic is delivering one of the most comprehensive container monitoring solutions for customers running on AWS. The integration collects metrics that monitor data and metadata for nodes, namespaces, deployments, replicasets, pods, and containers, allowing DevOps teams to fully monitor both frontend and backend applications and hosts running in Kubernetes clusters.
- New distributed tracing anomaly detection reduces mean time to resolution in complex environments: New Relic is launching a new set of Distributed Tracing capabilities to focus on anomalous spans that are the source of latency in a trace. Additional improvements include the ability to more easily find traces by grouping them by root service or root service entry point, quickly understand the flow of the call with a condensed trace view, and see what deployments have been made to dependent systems. With these new capabilities, DevOps teams can move more quickly from problem notification to resolution, even for more complex microservice architectures.
- New on-host integrations: New Relic Infrastructure now offers out-of-the-box integrations for Apache Kafka, Couchbase, ElasticSearch, JMX, Microsoft SQL Server, MongoDB, Oracle DB, PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ. Customers can now bring a plethora of new services into a single view alongside the applications they support. As a result, DevOps teams can now unify these previously disparate systems’ data onto the New Relic platform to gain critical insights into the performance of modern environments.
“New Relic was designed to help engineers see aspects of the software they create that were previously invisible or hard to see. As enterprises make the technology and cultural shifts necessary to compete in an increasingly digital world, software infrastructure has become just as important as the custom application code these engineers write. To be successful in the modern software era, enterprises must have visibility and metrics on every software and service component in their stack, which then gives them the ability to pinpoint issues efficiently, optimize and scale effectively, and ultimately have confidence that they’re advancing the business’ objectives. With our continuously expanding set of capabilities, we can be customers’ single source for understanding the performance of their applications, infrastructure, and end user experience,” said Aaron Johnson, SVP, Product Management, New Relic.

If AI is the engine of a modern organization, then data engineering is the road system beneath it. You can build the most powerful engine in the world, but without paved roads, traffic signals, and bridges that can support its weight, it will stall. In many enterprises, the engine is ready. The roads are not ...
In the world of digital-first business, there is no tolerance for service outages. Businesses know that outages are the quickest way to lose money and customers. For smaller organizations, unplanned downtime could even force the business to close ... A new study from PagerDuty, The State of AI-First Operations, reveals that companies actively incorporating AI into operations now view operational resilience as a growth driver rather than a cost center. But how are they achieving it? ...
In live financial environments, capital markets software cannot pause for rebuilds. New capabilities are introduced as stacked technology layers to meet evolving demands while systems remain active, data keeps moving, and controls stay intact. AI is no exception, and its opportunities are significant: accelerated decision cycles, compressed manual workflows, and more effective operations across complex environments. The constraint isn't the models themselves, but the architectural environments they enter ...
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 ...

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 ...
