New Relic, the Intelligent Observability company, announced an
integration of its AI-strengthened technology with the latest agentic capability of GitHub Copilot called
coding agent. The powerful integration transforms the traditional, manual approach to change validation
and incident response. It gives enterprises a solution for software development that leverages AI to
establish a virtuous cycle of continuous improvement. When intelligent agents automatically take steps to
ensure application health, enterprises experience increased system reliability and developer productivity.
“Agentic AI is poised to be a transformative technology for enterprise software developers and
engineers, who are facing intense pressure to ship more innovations at a faster pace without sacrificing
quality and reliability,” said New Relic Chief Product Officer Manav Khurana.
“With the innovative integration of New Relic’s intelligent observability technology with GitHub Copilot
coding agent, we are closing the loop on ensuring continued application health. Together with our long
time partner GitHub, we are providing a new, agentic way for modern software development that uses the
power of agentic AI to transform the way enterprises innovate.”
Our integrated solution automates critical end-to-end processes to reduce time, enhance
productivity, and increase system reliability
The integration of New Relic AI and GitHub Copilot coding agent has created a cutting-edge development
solution that features proactive monitoring, automated issue creation, expedited code repair, and
validation and resolution. Within the solution, New Relic monitors code deployments to automatically
detect performance issues stemming from changes. Upon identifying a problem, New Relic pinpoints the
root cause and automatically creates a comprehensive GitHub issue with all the related, necessary
context. Upon inspecting the issue, a developer can decide that the issue context is sufficient and assign
it to GitHub Copilot. GitHub Copilot then analyzes the GitHub issue, drafts a fix, and submits a draft pull
request for human review. New Relic validates the correction post-merge, completing the cycle.
Key benefits of the integrated solution include:
● Reduced time to resolution – Automates detection and validation processes to address issues
faster than ever.
● Improved developer productivity – Empowers engineers to focus on high-impact innovation
rather than manual troubleshooting.
● Enhanced system reliability – Quickly resolves performance issues to ensure seamless user
experiences.
● Accelerated innovation – Facilitates faster, safer deployment cycles to keep your teams moving
forward.
“Millions of organizations rely on GitHub every day for software delivery. Our integrations with key
partners like New Relic are instrumental in making our tools that much more scalable, reliable and
intelligent,” said Julia Liuson, President, Developer Division, MSFT. “Together with key partners like New
Relic we provide developers valuable insights and automation to enhance Agentic DevOps, driving
innovation and efficiency across the software lifecycle.”
GitHub Copilot coding agent integration expands New Relic’s partnership with Microsoft and
GitHub
New Relic’s agentic AI integrations bring critical observability data and intelligent recommendations
across the business and tech ecosystem. The company’s new integration with GitHub Copilot coding
agent works alongside the existing GitHub Copilot extension to help engineers get faster feedback on
their code and prevent issues from disrupting business.
