OpenTelemetry made easy with New Relic

Adopting OpenTelemetry (OTel) can be more challenging than anticipated due to the extensive time, expertise, and diligence required for its implementation, despite its promise of flexibility and vendor neutrality. New Relic aims to simplify this process by integrating OTel with its Application Performance Monitoring (APM) capabilities, providing a unified view of application and infrastructure health, especially in complex Kubernetes environments. This integration allows for seamless hybrid deployments, reduces operational overhead, and ensures faster deployments with pre-configured distributions tailored for various environments. New Relic supports standards-aligned and future-proof observability, enabling organizations to scale OTel without complexity, avoid vendor lock-in, and optimize costs. The company offers dedicated support and resources to facilitate OTel adoption, promoting an easy transition that enhances innovation and scalability for engineering and platform teams.
