New Relic CodeStream plugs observability directly into developer workflows in the IDE
Summary
A new version of CodeStream that integrates with the New Relic One observability platform is able to surface application telemetry data directly within the IDE at the relevant point in the code, so that developers can instantly get to work on resolving issues. The company believes the new product, along with a new pricing tier, will broaden New Relics appeal among developers whose primary role is coding, rather than the traditional users of monitoring and observability tools, who focus on operational uptime and reliability. Another feature uses integration to Pixie, the technology acquired by New Relic last year, which automatically collects telemetry data from deep inside application code running in Kubernetes clusters. Pezaris explains: As part of the announcement, New Relic highlighted its partnership with Microsoft around CodeStream, which works with the VS Code and Visual Studio IDEs, and also integrates to GitHub and Teams. Joining forces with CodeStream — which is effectively a Disrupt for coders, but with a lot of the integration chops of a Slack built in too — is a huge step up for New Relic in furthering its mission of data-driven software, which was a big theme of its FutureStack conference earlier this year.
