New Relic announced three new integrations with GitHub that boost developer productivity and experience to accelerate innovation.
The innovations, led by a new AI integration that automatically correlates software vulnerabilities and implements fixes, deliver intelligent observability insights where developers already work. Together, the longtime partners are helping GitHub Copilot’s more than 20 million users fast-track development, reduce downtime, and simplify workflows through automation.
“Agentic AI is everywhere, but developers aren’t yet seeing the productivity results they expected,” said New Relic Head of AI Camden Swita. “To unlock AI’s full potential, development teams need intelligent observability in the tools they use everyday. With our latest integrations with GitHub, we are continuing to deliver on our vision of bringing intelligent observability across the tech ecosystem.”
With the New Relic Security RX integration for GitHub Copilot, development teams can gather runtime and build time context of software vulnerabilities to understand the risks of both the security issue and the potential fix. Providing security in context helps distinguish real-world exposure from noise, gives a better understanding of the scope of the problem, and reduces manual research and triaging to prioritize fixing issues that could pose a real risk that's live in production versus what's merely sitting in a repository. The analysis generated via the New Relic Security RX integration for GitHub Copilot can then help create a clear remediation plan that will automatically initiate a GitHub issue containing impact details, testing and verification steps, and acceptance criteria. GitHub Copilot then generates a pull request with all necessary context for engineers, providing insights for faster resolution and reduced toil for developers.
New Relic’s new instrumentation assistant makes GitHub Copilot a more holistic and trustworthy solution-builder. The solution detects and resolves missing instrumentation at deployment by calling GitHub Copilot to implement full coverage directly in pull requests. The integration helps GitHub Copilot users generate more complete solutions. Instead of just a functional code snippet, the user would receive a more fully-realized service that includes observability. When creating or updating a service, GitHub Copilot doesn't just write the backend logic - it instruments the full-stack by including APM, custom attributes for business logic, a GitHub Action for Change Tracking integration with New Relic, and even the Browser agent for front-end visibility.
With the integration between New Relic Service Architecture Intelligence and GitHub, developers can import rich data from GitHub accounts directly into New Relic. The functionality helps developers improve velocity and automate configuration setup.

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 ...
The gap is widening between what teams spend on observability tools and the value they receive amid surging data volumes and budget pressures, according to The Breaking Point for Observability Leaders, a report from Imply ...
Seamless shopping is a basic demand of today's boundaryless consumer — one with little patience for friction, limited tolerance for disconnected experiences and minimal hesitation in switching brands. Customers expect intuitive, highly personalized experiences and the ability to move effortlessly across physical and digital channels within the same journey. Failure to deliver can cost dearly ...
If your best engineers spend their days sorting tickets and resetting access, you are wasting talent. New global data shows that employees in the IT sector rank among the least motivated across industries. They're under a lot of pressure from many angles. Pressure to upskill and uncertainty around what agentic AI means for job security is creating anxiety. Meanwhile, these roles often function like an on-call job and require many repetitive tasks ...
