Building Future-Proof Observability with OpenTelemetry APIs and New Relic Agents
Blog post from New Relic
As engineering organizations grow and micro-service architectures become more complex, standardizing telemetry collection is essential, with OpenTelemetry (OTel) emerging as the industry standard for portable, vendor-neutral instrumentation. However, transitioning from established Application Performance Monitoring (APM) agents to a pure OTel SDK can be costly and risky. New Relic offers a hybrid agent that bridges the gap by supporting OTel APIs within its agents, allowing incremental adoption of OTel while maintaining existing APM capabilities. This hybrid approach enables developers to future-proof their instrumentation with OTel's open standards while leveraging New Relic's reliable infrastructure, thus offering a low-risk path to modernization and ensuring observability infrastructure is prepared for future demands.
