In a significant growth milestone, worldwide cloud spending surged 32% in Q4 2020 to $39.9 billion, with Amazon Web Services (AWS) dominating the market at 31%. New Relic and AWS have strengthened their strategic partnership by jointly announcing an integration update for their services, specifically integrating Amazon CloudWatch Metric Streams with New Relic One. This integration enables reduced metric latency, allowing for faster alerting and dashboards, and streamlines data processing to avoid API throttling and service quota management. By leveraging this integration, users can benefit from speed, cost savings, and automated setup, as well as improved visibility into AWS services and enhanced analytics capabilities.
