New Relic, the Intelligent Observability Company, today announced New Relic RUNTIME at RenderATL, an in-person event dedicated to empowering developers, DevOps teams, and site reliability engineers (SREs) to optimize application performance and workflows. Co-located with RenderATL on August 12-13, New Relic RUNTIME will feature cutting-edge technical sessions and interactive experiences led by New Relic engineers. 

Led by Jemiah Sius, New Relic’s VP of Market Strategy & Developer Relations, the opening keynote will be kicked off by Kelsey Hightower and will feature Grammy-winning artist and activist Killer Mike. The session will also include a panel discussion with industry visionaries Microsoft VP Scott Hanselman, Atlanta’s first Senior Technology Advisor Donnie Beamer, RenderATL founder Justin Samuels and Angie Jones, VP of Developer Experience at the Agentic AI Foundation.

As AI accelerates development cycles, the industry faces a compounding operational challenge: “agent debt,” the gap between how code looks in an IDE and how it behaves when deployed by agents in production. A two-day, multi-session event, New Relic RUNTIME will dive into the heart of AI observability, combining hands-on workshops, live product demos, and technical deep dives to arm engineers with the real-time insights and preflight validation needed to bridge the gap between building fast and operating safely at scale. New Relic experts and guest speakers will cover critical architectural topics, including OpenTelemetry for AI, alert quality management, and agent observability.

"RenderATL centers on community, culture, and raw engineering storytelling. These values are also embedded in New Relic’s DNA, as developers are the heartbeat of our user base," said Sius. "In the AI era, engineers are evolving from traditional syntax writers into system producers who orchestrate complex architectures. RenderATL is the perfect home for New Relic RUNTIME because this community represents the exact builders who are pushing those boundaries. We’re incredibly excited to show up, connect, and empower these engineers with the tools and expertise they need to master the pace of AI and ship software with total confidence."
