FutureStack19: Lew Cirne on Building the Industry’s First Observability Platform
Blog post from New Relic
At FutureStack19 in New York City, New Relic founder and CEO Lew Cirne emphasized the transformative power of software, describing observability as essential for modern businesses to measure everything running in production. He outlined the need for a comprehensive observability platform characterized by openness, connectivity, and programmability, which allows companies to treat telemetry data from any source as first-class data and build custom applications. Cirne introduced several new products and features for the New Relic One platform, including New Relic Metrics, Traces, Logs, and AI, each designed to enhance data collection and analysis from third-party sources without relying solely on New Relic's agents. Additionally, the platform's programmability enables the development of open-source applications, further demonstrating its flexibility and commitment to open standards, ultimately aiming to help businesses deliver superior software solutions.
