Why New Relic Matters in 2025
New Relic is the gold standard for application performance monitoring (APM), infrastructure observability, and end-user experience tracking. From startups to Fortune 500s, companies rely on it to catch bottlenecks, reduce downtime, and deliver seamless user experiences. But mastering New Relic requires more than skimming its docs—it demands deep knowledge of its tools, from APM to logs to distributed tracing.
The certification is your fast track to expertise. Spanning 60+ hours, it blends theory, demos, and 40+ hands-on projects—like setting up alerts for a microservices app or analyzing cloud infrastructure. With lifetime LMS access and 24/7 support,ensures you’re equipped to tackle real-world challenges. In 2025, certified New Relic pros are in demand, commanding salaries of $100K+ in roles like Site Reliability Engineer or Performance Analyst.
Why New Relic Stands Out:
- Full-Stack Observability: Monitor apps, infrastructure, and user interactions in one platform.
- Real-Time Insights: Catch issues before they impact users with live dashboards and alerts.
- Cloud-Native Support: Seamlessly integrates with AWS, Azure, and Kubernetes.
- AI-Powered Analysis: Leverage New Relic AI for proactive issue detection.
