2026 AI Impact Report

Incidents are constant. Signals surface across every layer of the stack, and engineering teams struggle to separate what matters from what doesn’t—spending nearly 33% of their time firefighting instead of building.

In 2025, customers of New Relic generated 2.2 billion alert events, including 821 million potential production issues. At this scale, manual correlation breaks down. Speed of understanding becomes the defining factor of operational performance.

The AI Impact Report analyzes de-identified data from 6.6 million active users to examine how AI-strengthened observability transforms daily workflows—organizing signals, surfacing context, and accelerating decision-making in live systems.

Inside the report:

  • How teams reduce alert noise and focus on what matters

  • Faster root cause identification and resolution

  • Improved efficiency under sustained operational load

  • Measurable gains in signal clarity and response time
