New Relic Insights - a real-time analytics platform that collects, stores and presents data - will extend its capabilities to provide real-time insights about customers for mobile apps.
New Relic Insights already empowers application developers and business users alike to make queries across trillions of software events and metrics, and get answers in milliseconds. With this release, New Relic Insights will allow companies to easily unlock app performance, crash and user engagement data from their mobile apps, delivering real-time answers to their questions about their mobile business.
In addition to the new, out-of-the-box mobile data, the New Relic real-time analytics platform can also analyze custom events and attributes to support the needs of individual businesses. A range of data can be tracked in the apps by applying New Relic’s short and simple lines of code - from product IDs to subscription levels to purchase prices. Customers can enrich their standard, performance-focused data from New Relic Insights with business-relevant data, to enable tailored technical and business analysis of their applications.
Benefits of New Relic Insights include:
- Groundbreaking, Ad Hoc Querying for Mobile Data. Staying agile and responsive to the customer digital experience has gotten easier and more cost effective using New Relic’s cloud analytics solution, New Relic Insights.
- Turnkey Access to a New Breadth of Data. Once developers insert New Relic’s mobile SDK into their apps, they will automatically have access to mobile app performance, app crashes, and user engagement data without any additional code.
- Business and IT Strategies Using Customer Engagement Data. Mobile teams will be able to develop data-driven strategies for sales, product development, customer support, and marketing teams with analysis and out-of-the-box visibility into the kind of devices they are using and how much time they are spending on new features. The analysis becomes even more powerful when the data is coupled with other interesting business data, which can be accessed through New Relic Insights custom events and attributes.
- Granular Data in Real Time. New Relic Insights will store data from mobile SDKs, enabling fine-grained analysis by user group, mobile carrier, network response time, and more.
- Developer Productivity. Because New Relic Insights collects a broad set of data with a single SDK, developers will be able to reduce their dependencies on multiple SDKs, resulting in greater app stability and easier troubleshooting.
Ways to Use New Relic’s Out-of-the-Box Mobile Data
- Track Customer Engagement and Adoption of New Features. If your mobile team has released a new feature set that is specific to users in multiple cities across the globe, you can use New Relic Insights to refine and adjust your new features by determining in real time the frequency and adoption of the new features according to the region, the carrier, and the device.
- Visualize Performance Impact on Key Business Goals. If your engineering team has created a new checkout page on your mobile app, but conversion rates have not grown as intended, with New Relic Insights, the mobile data will be able to show you that the new checkout page is using a huge amount of memory on the end-user’s device and you will be able to establish a pattern of crashes. Your mobile team can then immediately identify and correct performance issues that are impacting the customer experience, so you can increase revenues and protect your brand.
“We believe that having access to a solution with ad hoc and iterative querying for mobile data is a groundbreaking event. Successful mobile teams should have the ability to analyze in real time how their business is doing and the state of their relationships with their customers. New Relic Insights’ ability to analyze mobile-centric data helps bridge both IT and business disciplines, furthering our vision to make software analytics accessible to anyone – from developers, to IT operations, and beyond,” said Todd Etchieson, VP of Product Management, Analytics, New Relic.
New Relic staff will be demoing and discussing these new features at Mobile World Congress and Pepcom, in Barcelona, from March 1-5.
New Relic Insights using mobile data is expected to be generally available in calendar Q2 2015.

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 ...
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.
