Alternatives to New Relic
Observability platform for engineers.
- What is New Relic?
- An observability platform from New Relic that collects metrics, traces and logs from applications and infrastructure.
- What does it do?
- Instruments applications with agents or OpenTelemetry to surface traces, error rates and slow transactions. Also covers infrastructure metrics, log search, synthetic uptime checks, dashboards and alerting.
- Who is it for?
- Engineering and SRE teams running production services who want APM, logs and alerting from one vendor. A single small service rarely justifies this much tooling; there is a free tier to start on.
- What are the alternatives to New Relic?
- SigNoz and HyperDX are open source, self-hostable and built on OpenTelemetry. Better Stack leans towards uptime monitoring and status pages, and Axiom concentrates on storing and querying logs and events.
