New Relic Celebrates Strategic Partnership with Microsoft at Build 2026

Observability leader grew customer committed bookings through Microsoft Marketplace transactions by double digits over recent 12 months

Collaborative innovations empower development, ITOps, DevOps, SRE and platform engineering teams to automate incident resolution to reduce MTTR and boost productivity

SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Microsoft Build—New Relic, the Intelligent Observability Company, is at Microsoft Build 2026 this week to showcase innovations from its longstanding strategic partnership with Microsoft and celebrate recent sales momentum. New Relic continues to see strong customer demand with Microsoft evidenced by strong double-digit year-over-year growth of committed bookings through the Microsoft Azure Marketplace for the period ending March 31, 2026.

Empowering customers to unlock business value in the AI era with Azure and GitHub innovations

New Relic shares a history of innovation over their 14 years of partnership with Microsoft, evolving to continually stay ahead of market needs. Over the past year, New Relic has delivered a suite of solutions to help Azure customers navigate today’s complex technology environment. As enterprises increasingly deploy autonomous agents and AI-generated code, the collaboration between New Relic and Microsoft remains focused on providing observability directly into the Azure and GitHub workflows where developers and SREs live every day. As a result, teams can surface actionable insights and automate incident detection, root cause analysis and remediation. Integrations include:

• Agentic AI integrations with Azure: New Relic’s agentic AI integrations with Microsoft Azure are designed to reduce mean time to resolution (MTTR) of incidents and enhance developer productivity. The cornerstone of this innovation is the New Relic Model Context Protocol (MCP) Server, which embeds Intelligent Observability insights directly into the Azure SRE Agent. New Relic Monitoring for Microsoft Foundry ingests logs and metrics from Azure into New Relic, delivering a nuanced and insightful dashboard view of an application or agent’s performance.

• AI-strengthened innovations with GitHub: Designed to enhance developer productivity and security, the company released New Relic Security RX integration for GitHub Copilot that uses runtime context to detect, evaluate, and suggest remediation for software vulnerabilities. The GitHub Actions integration helps eliminate observability blind spots by detecting and helping to resolve missing instrumentation during deployment. By embedding Intelligent Observability insights directly into developers’ workflows, New Relic empowers enterprises to reduce manual troubleshooting and accelerate the delivery of secure, high-performing code.

• Coding Agent integration: New Relic integrated its AI-strengthened technology with GitHub Copilot’s coding agent to transform manual change validation and incident response into an automated, AI-driven process. By establishing a virtuous cycle of continuous improvement through intelligent agents, the integration can significantly boost system reliability and developer productivity. Learn more here.

"Our strategic partnership with Microsoft is built on the shared goal of helping customers adopt AI at scale with confidence. At Build 2026, we are showcasing how New Relic and Microsoft are pushing the boundaries of software to drive truly actionable, autonomous intelligence," said Thomas Lloyd, Chief Business and Operations Officer at New Relic. "By bringing together our AI-strengthened deep observability insights with a number of Microsoft’s own AI agents, we’re allowing customers to move beyond insights to independent, real-time action. This ongoing collaboration is about delivering together upon the future promises of AI with technology available to our joint customers, today."

Accelerating time-to-value via Microsoft Marketplace

New Relic is a featured partner in Microsoft Marketplace, allowing customers to use their existing Azure consumption commitments (MACC) to easily deploy observability across their organization. New Relic Monitoring for SAP Solutions, the only agentless certified RISE with SAP observability solution on the market, is also available in the Marketplace, delivering superior performance and minimizing interruptions for Azure customers.
