Is it possible to develop a plugin without an account?

Question

We want to develop a plugin for NewRelic, but we'd like to do it separately from the company we work for (which is who owns the NewRelic commercial account)

Is it possible to develop it without an account (and thus, independently from a company) or is it 100% required to have the plugin belong to a company with a NewRelic account?

Answer 1

Any New Relic account can consume, author, and publish plugins.

If you don't have an account, or want to publish from an account that is different from your primary or work account, simply signup for a new account - and if you do so via any of the plugin detail pages here http://www.newrelic.com/platform you'll get New Relic Standard for free, forever! (otherwise Standard is a paid tier, and Lite is free forever)
