Observability. Why you need it.
Observability helps software engineering teams to understand the health and performance of their systems—and see beyond not just what errors occur, but to know when and why.
New Relic for Students gives early career learners more benefits than our Free plan—with more users to learn, collaborate, and innovate.
With New Relic, you'll have access to a best-in-class observability platform for free, with exposure to open source tools, training, resources, and certifications to validate your expertise.
