New Relic is software in the “as a service” model, which monitors various digital environments. In practice, it scans environments to diagnose performance problems, making life easier for both programmers and managers.

For example, it is a great application for your page that is suffering from some slowdown. Instead of spending hours looking for the source of the problem, New Relic can simply scan the environment and return the information needed to resolve the situation.

New Relic also presents a lot of interesting information that can be very useful for companies, such as the load time of each page and the average access time of each customer.

What can New Relic do for your company?

New Relic's primary function is already very interesting. The software helps monitor applications and websites in real time, both by tracking performance and determining whether the user experience is being positive.

For example, the solution might determine how long the database takes to respond to a given request. Depending on the time, it can be evaluated if it is fast or slow and, if it is not at the ideal speed, it is possible to evaluate if it is a one-off problem or a problem related to any component connected to the database.

For this, there are several solutions that the tool uses to perform this analysis. Let's see the main ones:

  • Transactions: You can measure performance against transactions, identifying response time and other information
  • Error analysis: Allows you to evaluate which application errors are
  • Database: As stated above, New Relic gives a more detailed view of the database, allowing for easier error correction.
  • Map: Mapping allows you to more easily view all services connected to the application, making it even easier to find errors

Due to these characteristics and functionalities, New Relic allows a general and specific monitoring view. It is possible to monitor several aspects with a broader view and, at the same time, find specific problems and speed up their resolution.

The benefits of using the solution are also great. First, faster troubleshooting leads to improved productivity, resulting in more sales or a better user experience on your company's website. In addition, with so much information, you have new insights, allowing more agility in decision making and the development of new ideas.

New Relic is a very powerful tool that can be very useful for any company, bringing an improvement in the performance of its digital platform and, at the same time, allowing valuable information to be generated.
