Load Testing Basics

Test before traffic spikes

Load testing models real user flows, ramps traffic to expected and peak levels, and measures latency, errors, and saturation to guide scaling and fixes before incidents.

Plan Scenarios

Model key user journeys and expected/peak loads with realistic data.

Run and Observe

Ramp gradually; track latency percentiles, errors, CPU, DB bottlenecks.

Act

Optimize code, caches, and capacity; retest and bake into release cycles.
