Ryan Friesel developed predictive NRQL alerting features and enhanced documentation across New Relic’s newrelic-client-go, terraform-provider-newrelic, and docs-website repositories. He implemented prediction-based NRQL alert conditions in Go, enabling alerts to trigger on anticipated breaches, and ensured feature parity between the client SDK and Terraform provider. His work included schema updates, integration tests, and Markdown documentation, supporting both backend development and infrastructure as code. By updating documentation for cross-account alerting elections and aligning resources for general availability, Ryan improved developer onboarding and reduced support needs. His contributions demonstrated depth in API development, alerting systems, and cross-repository coordination using Go and GraphQL.

February 2025 monthly summary for core NRQL alerting work across two repositories. Key features delivered include: (1) newrelic/newrelic-client-go: prediction-based NRQL alert conditions with support for prediction-by-time and prediction-violation preferences; updated integration tests covering creation and retrieval of prediction-enabled alert conditions. (2) newrelic/terraform-provider-newrelic: prediction-based NRQL alert conditions (Beta) enabling alerts to trigger on anticipated breaches of static NRQL thresholds; introduced new schema fields, updated tests, and updated documentation; beta preview restricted to static conditions. Major bugs fixed: no explicit bugs documented in this period; ongoing QA focused on feature correctness and robust test coverage for the new capabilities. Overall impact and accomplishments: enables proactive, data-driven alerting to reduce incident response time and improve alert relevance; expands predictive alerting to IaC users via Terraform, supporting automation and consistency; ensures feature parity across client SDK and Terraform provider with strengthened test coverage and documentation. Technologies/skills demonstrated: Go and Terraform provider development, NRQL alerting and predictive analytics concepts, integration and unit testing, and documentation improvements.
