1. About This Course and Certification
The New Relic Training and Certification course by AI Universe, in collaboration with DevOpsSchool.com, is designed to equip IT professionals, developers, and system administrators with the skills needed to effectively monitor, analyze, and optimize their applications using New Relic, a leading Application Performance Monitoring (APM) and observability tool. This course will provide a mix of theoretical understanding and hands-on practical experience with New Relic’s monitoring capabilities. Upon completion, participants will be prepared to take the New Relic certification exam, validating their expertise in application performance management.
2. What is New Relic?
New Relic is a powerful application performance monitoring (APM) and observability platform that provides deep insights into the health and performance of your entire software stack—from application and infrastructure to distributed systems and microservices. By offering real-time visibility into application behavior, transaction times, error rates, and resource utilization, New Relic helps teams detect issues before they impact end-users, troubleshoot problems faster, and optimize performance across various environments such as on-premises, cloud, and hybrid systems. New Relic is particularly known for its easy-to-read dashboards, customizable alerts, and robust integration ecosystem with tools like Kubernetes, AWS, Google Cloud, and more.
3. Why New Relic is Important?
In modern software environments, having a reliable observability tool like New Relic is essential because:
- Proactive Monitoring: New Relic allows teams to monitor application health, ensuring high availability and quick response to performance issues.
- Full-Stack Visibility: It provides end-to-end visibility across infrastructure, applications, and user interactions, enabling a unified view of system performance.
- AI-Powered Insights: Its AI-driven anomaly detection helps teams identify performance degradation, bottlenecks, or security issues before they impact users.
- Faster Troubleshooting: With real-time data, New Relic enables faster root cause analysis, reducing the mean time to resolve (MTTR).
- Seamless Integrations: New Relic integrates with numerous DevOps tools, cloud services, and infrastructure components, enabling a unified monitoring ecosystem.
Learning New Relic equips IT professionals with the skills necessary to ensure their applications are reliable, performant, and scalable in dynamic, multi-cloud, and hybrid environments.
