Story
Inside Alation, production support used to depend on whoever still had the latest file. That pattern is common in information technology groups working out of the United States. SREs and developers needed a system that would still make sense after the original project team moved on.
Alation uses NRQL from New Relic as the working layer for application health. New Relic provides observability software so engineering teams can monitor applications, infrastructure, and user experience. The practical change is simple: production support has a home, and reviews happen there instead of in a forwarded thread.
Nothing in this writeup invents a savings number. What Alation gets from New Relic is a durable place to run production support and a way for SREs and developers to see the same application health at the same time.
