SAN FRANCISCO – May 3, 2021- New Relic, Inc. (NYSE: NEWR), the observability company, today unveiled the agenda for FutureStack, its annual conference for the global community of engineers and developers passionate about data-driven software development and operations. On May 25-27, thousands of engineers from the largest global enterprises to hypergrowth digital startups will gather virtually to bolster how they plan, build and operate mission critical digital experiences. Through keynotes, technical deep dives and workshops, attendees will explore the future of observability as a community of builders. 

"Our vision is to make observability a daily practice for millions of engineers, at every stage of the software lifecycle," said Bill Staples, president and chief product officer at New Relic. "With the themes of Open-Build-Run, FutureStack 21 is anticipated to be the first conference of its kind where thousands of engineers and developers will gather to learn about extending observability beyond production troubleshooting to the plan, build and deploy phases of software development. I am looking forward to empowering our broader community of engineers to shape the next generation of observability and the future of software."

This year’s virtual FutureStack event is organized around three themes which reflect New Relic’s vision to extend observability beyond production use cases to inform every aspect of the software lifecycle. This includes “open,” focusing on the democratization of observability for all; “build,” helping engineers leverage observability in software development; and “run,” proving the necessity of observability in running more perfect software.
