New Relic Introduces AI-Strengthened Integrations with GitHub to Boost Developer Productivity and ..

New Relic, the Intelligent Observability company, announced three new integrations with GitHub that boost developer productivity and experience to accelerate innovation. The innovations, led by a new AI integration that automatically correlates software vulnerabilities and implements fixes, deliver intelligent observability insights where developers already work. Together, the longtime partners are helping GitHub Copilot’s more than 20 million users fast-track development, reduce downtime, and simplify workflows through automation.

“Agentic AI is everywhere, but developers aren’t yet seeing the productivity results they expected,” said New Relic Head of AI Camden Swita. “To unlock AI’s full potential, development teams need intelligent observability in the tools they use everyday. With our latest integrations with GitHub, we are continuing to deliver on our vision of bringing intelligent observability across the tech ecosystem.”

Nearly half (45%) of developers surveyed say debugging AI-generated code takes more time than writing it themselves, the 2025 Stack Overflow Developer Survey found, and teams continue losing hours to context-switching between fragmented tools, manual troubleshooting, and remediation workflows. To solve these challenges, New Relic’s unified Intelligent Observability Platform brings together disparate systems and performance data, provides context, and drives action.

Seamless remediation with GitHub Copilot

Application security in many organizations is a complex web of data spread throughout siloed environments, mountains of tickets about vulnerabilities in code that isn't deployed or running anywhere, and endless context switching that leaves developers hesitant to fix anything. Now, New Relic automatically correlates software vulnerabilities across GitHub and New Relic and then implements fixes in GitHub Copilot with runtime context.

With the New Relic Security RX integration for GitHub Copilot, development teams can gather runtime and build time context of software vulnerabilities to understand the risks of both the security issue and the potential fix. Providing security in context helps distinguish real-world exposure from noise, gives a better understanding of the scope of the problem, and reduces manual research and triaging to prioritize fixing issues that could pose a real risk that's live in production versus what's merely sitting in a repository. The analysis generated via the New Relic Security RX integration for GitHub Copilot can then help create a clear remediation plan that will automatically initiate a GitHub issue containing impact details, testing and verification steps, and acceptance criteria. GitHub Copilot then generates a pull request with all necessary context for engineers, providing insights for faster resolution and reduced toil for developers.

Solving blind spots at deployment

Developers often deploy services without sufficient observability instrumentation, creating blind spots that only become visible when issues arise in production. New Relic’s new instrumentation assistant makes GitHub Copilot a more holistic and trustworthy solution-builder. The solution detects and resolves missing instrumentation at deployment by calling GitHub Copilot to implement full coverage directly in pull requests.

The integration helps GitHub Copilot users generate more complete solutions. Instead of just a functional code snippet, the user would receive a more fully-realized service that includes observability. When creating or updating a service, GitHub Copilot doesn't just write the backend logic - it  instruments the full-stack by including APM, custom attributes for business logic, a GitHub Action for Change Tracking integration with New Relic, and even the Browser agent for front-end visibility.

Rich data brings essential context for improved developer velocity

Without having rich data on code releases, ownership and more, it can take teams a long time to establish service ownership and adopt development best practices. With the integration between New Relic Service Architecture Intelligence and GitHub, developers can import rich data from GitHub accounts directly into New Relic. The functionality helps developers improve velocity and automate configuration setup.
