Description

Currently we are able to configure New Relic applications via the dev toolkit but we don't have the ability to create a New Relic application.
In our deployment process we deploy a new service, and subsequently configure the application, but our first deployments always fail since we need to wait for New Relic to detect the application.

It would be great if we could create the New Relic application ourselves e.g via terraform.

Research direction

Start by reviewing the dev toolkit's existing New Relic application configuration and its Terraform support. Trace how an application is currently configured, then determine the inputs and behavior needed to create it before configuration; done means a newly deployed service can be configured without waiting for New Relic to detect the application.
