Observability for DevOps Teams

Delivering reliable software at speed demands complete visibility. New Relic gives DevOps teams end-to-end observability across infrastructure, applications, and user experience — enabling faster releases, quicker incident response, and data-driven delivery decisions.

Why Observability Matters for DevOps

Modern delivery pipelines move fast. Without observability, even small configuration issues or performance regressions stay hidden until they affect users.

Observability turns your telemetry into actionable insight — helping teams deliver confidently while maintaining reliability.

With New Relic, DevOps teams can:

  • Detect and resolve incidents before customers are impacted
  • Validate every deployment with real-time performance data
  • Trace dependencies across distributed microservices
  • Quantify service health and stability
  • Build a shared operational view between Dev, Ops, and SRE teams
Full-Stack Observability for DevOps Teams-1

Full-Stack Observability in Action

True DevOps observability means connecting every layer of your stack — from hosts and containers to deployments, users, and alerts — in one continuous flow of data. 

New Relic unifies this visibility so your teams can monitor, measure, and improve everything they build.

Infrastructure Monitoring – Every Host, Container, and Service

Infrastructure is the foundation of reliable delivery. New Relic provides deep visibility into compute, storage, and network components across hybrid and multi-cloud environments, allowing DevOps teams to monitor:

  • Hosts & Virtual Machines: CPU, memory, disk I/O, and network throughput
  • Containers: Lifecycle metrics, throttling, restarts, resource usage
  • Kubernetes Clusters: Node, pod, and deployment health; scaling and scheduling behaviour
  • Databases: Query latency, throughput, and connection pools across SQL/NoSQL
  • Network & Inventory: Interface traffic, DNS latency, configuration drift, and package versions
  • Events: Infrastructure changes correlated with alerts and traces
Application & Delivery Monitoring – From Code to Deployment

Every release introduces risk, and New Relic enables DevOps teams to measure its impact instantly — providing full visibility into application performance and delivery pipelines through key capabilities such as:

  • APM & Services: Transaction traces, error rates, throughput, external dependencies
  • Change Tracking: Automatically tag code releases and visualise performance impact
  • CI/CD Integration: Pipeline event tracking from Jenkins, GitHub, or GitLab
  • Distributed Tracing: Follow requests across microservices and APIs
  • Error Analytics: Detect new exceptions and route them to the right team via Error Inbox
User Experience Monitoring – Validate What Customers See

Observability extends beyond servers and code, giving DevOps teams the ability to monitor how real users experience their systems through features such as:

  • Synthetic Monitoring: Global uptime and API checks simulating user journeys
  • Browser Monitoring: Page load time, JS errors, and session traces
  • Mobile Monitoring: App latency, crashes, and network performance on iOS & Android
Alerting & Incident Automation – Respond Before Users Notice

Proactive alerting turns reaction into prevention, and Bion helps DevOps teams design alert policies and workflows that prioritise what truly matters using New Relic Alerts and Workflows such as:

  • Define intelligent thresholds and anomaly detection
  • Correlate related alerts to reduce noise
  • Integrate with Slack, PagerDuty, or ServiceNow for instant notification
  • Track incidents end-to-end with Error Inbox
  • Measure MTTR and continuously improve response processes

How DevOps Teams Use These Insights

Observability data becomes truly valuable when it’s tied to delivery decisions. DevOps teams use New Relic insights to validate releases, optimise performance, and build a continuous feedback loop across engineering and operations.

Release Validation & Performance Optimisation

Measure pre- and post-deployment impact, detect latency or bottlenecks, and ensure each release improves reliability.

010-cloud data

Cost Efficiency & Data Management

Optimise data collection, retention, and ingest settings to maintain visibility without unnecessary spend.

036-error message

Reliability & SLO Alignment

Build dashboards and alerts that reflect real business goals and track performance against defined service-level objectives.

046-continuous

Incident Response & Continuous Feedback

Correlate logs, traces, and metrics to shorten MTTR and feed actionable insights back into CI/CD pipelines.

Bion’s Expertise in New Relic Engineering

Observability delivers real value when it becomes part of the DevOps workflow — from build to release and beyond.
Bion works directly with engineering teams to integrate New Relic into their delivery process and make observability actionable.

How we help DevOps teams:

  • Design & Integration – Connect New Relic with your infrastructure, CI/CD pipelines, and services to achieve full visibility.
  • Dashboards & Alerting – Build team-specific dashboards and alert policies that map to real delivery and reliability goals.
