Observing & Monitoring Agents with New Relic

Developers are not just writing code anymore. They are starting to run a virtual team. At AWS re:Invent, I had a conversation with Jemiah Sius, VP, Market Strategy and Developer Relations, from New Relic about how AI is changing the day-to-day life of developers. This was one of those chats that makes you pause and rethink how software will be built very soon.Here is what stood out-- Agentic AI is becoming real for developers Teams are excited about agents that behave like a digital team or a virtual SRE, taking care of reliability and performance while developers focus on building features-- Developers are becoming orchestrators Over the next 6 to 8 months, the role of the developer is shifting. Less time writing every line of code, more time directing agents and tools. This shift is already driving a big jump in productivity-- Observability matters more than ever As agents start working across multiple LLM servers and interacting with other agents, visibility becomes critical. Without observability across the full agent layer, things can quickly create more work instead of less-- New Relic and AWS coming together We talked about the New Relic integration with AWS Q, which brings observability data directly into AWS DevOps workflows, and the new security agent that surfaces real production data on vulnerabilitiesIt was great catching up with Jemiah again and hearing how New Relic is thinking about the future of developers and reliability.#Data #AI #AWSRecipes #NewRelic #AgenticAI #Security #MCP #reinvent #NewRelic #TheRavitShow
