Summary

New Relic's eAPM, now generally available, offers a no-code solution for monitoring Kubernetes workloads and traditional hosts by leveraging eBPF technology, which simplifies the historically complex process of manual instrumentation and lifecycle management. This new tool utilizes a lightweight node-level agent to automatically discover and monitor workloads within a cluster, providing full visibility through the New Relic One platform without requiring code changes. It features intelligent span sampling for real-time debugging, AI-powered insights for comprehensive observability, and ensures minimal resource consumption, thereby optimizing application performance. Moreover, eAPM allows for a seamless transition to full APM agents when more detailed monitoring is required, ensuring continuous observability and operational continuity. The deployment is straightforward, requiring a simple Helm command or guided installation, and offers users the flexibility to scale observability solutions as business needs evolve.
