Together with our long-time partner GitHub, we are providing a new, agentic way for modern software development that uses the power of agentic AI to transform the way enterprises innovate.”
Key benefits
Key benefits of the integrated solution include reduced time to resolution, improved developer productivity, enhanced system reliability, and accelerated innovation.
“Millions of organisations rely on GitHub every day for software delivery. Our integrations with key partners like New Relic are instrumental in making our tools that much more scalable, reliable and intelligent,” said Julia Liuson, president of the Developer Division, MSFT, highlighting the scalability of the product.
