COMPUTE OPTIMIZER

COMPUTE OPTIMIZER

A new relic optimizer tool that helps users efficiently manage their usage and costs.

Provides insights and recommendations for reducing data ingest and compute usage for sizing, cost savings and performance while maintaining effective system observability.

COMPUTE OPTIMIZER

overview

I designed the Compute Optimizer tool to help customers manage compute costs by providing insights and recommendations for optimizing expensive and inefficient conditions, such as alerts, dashboards and APIs. This is crucial as New Relic transitions to a consumption-based pricing model, which increases the need for efficient compute usage.

problem statement

We had a unique problem to solve- Identifying potential optimizations, especially around Alerts, the key capability driving compute usage for New Relic customers. In order to manage compute costs, we needed to provide customers with tooling around cost optimization and proactive cost control.

IMPACT

User Value:

Helps customer organizations stay within budget (when needed) and implement compute best practices for their teams and users.
