Summary

New Relic has acquired SignifAI, an event-intelligence company that focuses on correlating related issues and extracting predictive insights to enable software engineering teams to take action. The acquisition aligns with New Relic's movement towards a more open data platform and shares a vision for bringing machine intelligence to modern software operations. This aims to reduce the anxiety of being on-call for complex systems by providing context to human responders, reducing alert fatigue and allowing them to focus on higher-value work. SignifAI's technology sits above the monitoring tool layer, ingests alert data, and applies intelligence to it, telling users where to look to solve problems. The company's product and AI technology are informed by real-world site reliability engineering (SRE) problems, making it a great match for New Relic. The acquisition brings in a world-class team and one of the most powerful SaaS-based event correlation and intelligence platforms, enabling customers to turn more of their monitoring data into actionable insights.
