I had to find culprits of internal modules taking longer in processing time, and I found anomalies while using new-relic.

New Relic is a must have infrastructure monitoring tool that offers an unparalleled level of detail for businesses. With New Relic, users can dive deep into their infrastructure and applications, gaining valuable insights and fine-grained control. The platform's free tier is remarkably generous, providing access to essential features without compromising on functionality. The graphical user interface (GUI) is clean and intuitive, although it can be slightly overwhelming due to the wealth of information presented (it took me a while to grasp it). However, once users familiarize themselves with the interface, they can harness its power to optimize performance and streamline operations effectively. I've used it to pinpoint performance issues in our PHP code, and not only New Relic helped me out on that, but it also told me that some remote service queries were taking longer than normal. All with fancy graphics and maps!

Our company is small and I need to leverage as much automation as possible. For now, we need to know that we're not overpaying for resources that we aren't using. New Relic has provided me with regular reports about our busiest days and the level of resource consumption we have. This is valuable information. As our operation scales up, I look forward to using some of the other analysis features including query monitoring / inspectin.
