Acquires and integrates code collaboration platform CodeStream and joins forces with Microsoft to link
New Relic CodeStream with VS Code, Visual Studio, GitHub, and Microsoft Teams; introduces affordably priced Core user option to reduce barriers for developers to embrace observability
New Relic, Inc., the observability company, announced the launch of New Relic CodeStream, a first-of-its-kind developer experience that brings observability and code collaboration into the most widely used Integrated Development Environments (IDE). To deliver this new capability, New Relic has acquired CodeStream, a leading developer collaboration platform, and integrated it with New Relic One. New Relic CodeStream is an observability solution that connects application telemetry data directly to the relevant code inside the IDE, so developers can instrument, collaborate, and debug issues faster and more simply than ever before. The capability includes integrations with Microsoft’s VS Code, Visual Studio, Teams and GitHub, among other popular developer tools. New Relic is also announcing their new Core user pricing option, an affordable, accessible option to reduce barriers for developers to embrace observability.
“Whether connecting virtually, watching online entertainment or ordering groceries and other goods, the COVID-19 induced, rapid rise in demand for digital services and experiences has seen developers placed under more pressure than ever to create the best code possible, making them the unsung heroes of the pandemic,” Ben Goodman, SVP of New Relic Asia Pacific and Japan said.
“Our mission is to empower these innovators with the best tools and technology possible so that they can spend more time delivering the best possible digital experiences for their customers. Thanks to the integration of CodeStream into New Relic One, engineers across the region will now have access to telemetry data and insights as part of the tools they use each and every day, making them more productive than ever.”
“Developers are essential to helping organisations in every industry accelerate the use of new capabilities. Our goal at Microsoft is to provide a wide range of services to address the real-world needs of customers,” said Scott Guthrie, executive vice president, Cloud + AI, Microsoft. “With partners like New Relic, it’s exciting to see comprehensive integration support with New Relic CodeStream, spanning multiple Microsoft platforms and products: VS Code, Visual Studio, .NET, GitHub, Microsoft Teams and Azure DevOps, to name a few. Tighter collaboration between development projects and improved connections between existing applications are just some of the benefits New Relic CodeStream will provide to the developer community.”
“We believe that the world’s professional developers need observability tools in order to accelerate innovation and build more delightful customer experiences,” said Stephen Elliot, Program Vice President, Management Software and DevOps, IDC. “There are powerful business opportunities in making observability a full software lifecycle engineering practice. The companies who get it right are poised to not only multiply their total addressable market, but redefine the category with a developer-led approach.”
“We founded CodeStream to transform how developers write, deploy and improve their code by building the industry’s best collaboration platform,” said Peter Pezaris, Co-founder and CEO of CodeStream. “With New Relic, we found a team and company completely aligned with our mission and values to accelerate our innovation and expand our reach to the global developer community. I’m proud to share the powerful new integration between CodeStream and New Relic with engineers around the globe, and I’m excited about the continued innovations we will bring to market together.”
“Observability as an engineering practice presents a future where essential workflows are fueled by data, and New Relic is a leader in this category,” said Amanda Silver, CVP of Product, Microsoft. “By bringing the world of production telemetry through New Relic CodeStream, developers will be able to tighten feedback loops and produce better performing software without impacting their existing workflows or requiring expensive context switches.”
Ryan J. Salva, VP of Product at GitHub added, “Collaboration among developers has enabled some of humankind’s most significant achievements. At GitHub, we’ve been fortunate enough to bring over 65 million developers together working on some of the world’s most significant projects. New Relic understands that developer collaboration depends on shared knowledge, and New Relic CodeStream has built great experiences extending developer conversations about code into the editor. I’m thrilled to see what new collaborative experiences New Relic, GitHub, and Microsoft can build together.”
