Overview
New Relic One is a comprehensive full-stack observability platform that unifies application performance monitoring, infrastructure telemetry, log analytics, and real-user experience data in a single connected view. Organizations running cloud-native architectures, microservices, and hybrid environments depend on New Relic to reduce mean time to detection and mean time to resolution while keeping engineering teams focused on delivering business value rather than fighting fires.
Nextbrick is a trusted New Relic consulting partner that helps enterprises plan, implement, and continuously optimize their New Relic deployments. Whether you are instrumenting your first application or migrating hundreds of services from a legacy APM tool, our consultants bring deep platform expertise combined with production operations experience to ensure your observability investment delivers measurable results from day one.
Application Performance Monitoring
Effective APM is the cornerstone of any observability strategy. Nextbrick engineers instrument applications across all major language agents including Java, .NET, Node.js, Python, Ruby, Go, and PHP to capture transaction traces, error analytics, and runtime metrics with minimal overhead. We configure custom instrumentation for business-critical code paths, set up deployment markers for change tracking, and tune agent sampling to balance visibility with performance cost.
Our APM engagements go beyond basic installation. We design service-level objectives and service-level indicators within New Relic, connect APM data to CI/CD pipelines for automated quality gates, and build NRQL-powered dashboards that give product and engineering leaders real-time insight into application health, throughput, and error budgets.
Infrastructure Monitoring
Modern applications span Kubernetes clusters, serverless functions, managed databases, and multi-cloud infrastructure. Nextbrick deploys the New Relic Infrastructure agent and on-host integrations to capture host metrics, container performance, and process-level telemetry. We configure cloud integrations for AWS, Azure, and Google Cloud to pull in service-level metrics from RDS, DynamoDB, Azure App Service, GKE, and more without deploying additional agents.
For Kubernetes environments, we install the New Relic Kubernetes integration and Pixie auto-telemetry to provide instant visibility into pod scheduling, resource utilization, network traffic, and DNS performance. Our architects design tagging strategies and entity relationships that make it easy to navigate from an alerting incident to the exact container, node, or cloud resource that requires attention.
Browser Monitoring and Real User Monitoring
Understanding the end-user experience is critical for customer-facing applications. Nextbrick configures New Relic Browser to capture page load performance, JavaScript errors, AJAX timing, and session traces across desktop and mobile browsers. We set up single-page application monitoring for React, Angular, and Vue.js applications to track route changes and component render times that traditional page-load metrics miss.
By connecting Browser data with APM backend traces, our implementations provide full request-level visibility from the user click to the database query and back, enabling teams to pinpoint whether latency originates in the frontend, network, or backend services.
Distributed Tracing and Service Maps
In microservices architectures, a single user request can traverse dozens of services. Nextbrick enables W3C Trace Context and New Relic distributed tracing across every service boundary to capture end-to-end latency, identify bottleneck services, and surface anomalous spans. We configure trace sampling strategies including head-based, tail-based, and adaptive approaches that retain the most valuable traces without overwhelming storage budgets.
New Relic auto-generated service maps become an always-current architecture diagram when properly instrumented. Our consultants ensure that every service, external dependency, and database appears in the map with accurate throughput and error rate annotations, giving SRE teams situational awareness during incidents.
Alerting, Dashboards, and NRQL
Alerts are only useful when they are actionable. Nextbrick designs multi-condition alert policies that correlate infrastructure, application, and synthetic signals to reduce noise and focus on-call engineers on genuine incidents. We integrate New Relic alerting with PagerDuty, Opsgenie, Slack, and ServiceNow so that notifications reach the right people through the right channels with full context attached.
Our dashboard practice leverages NRQL to build executive dashboards, SRE operational views, and team-specific performance boards. We create template variables, faceted widgets, and linked dashboards that let users drill from high-level KPIs down to individual transaction traces in seconds.
New Relic One Platform Optimization
Many organizations under-utilize the New Relic platform after initial deployment. Nextbrick conducts observability maturity assessments that evaluate instrumentation coverage, data ingest efficiency, alert quality, and dashboard adoption. We identify unused or duplicated telemetry, recommend ingest optimization strategies to control costs, and introduce advanced capabilities such as Lookout, Navigator, and Workloads to improve incident triage workflows.
For organizations building custom experiences, our developers create New Relic One applications using the Programmability SDK, embedding bespoke visualizations and workflows directly into the New Relic UI.
