Performance & Load Testing

You can run load and stress tests against your APIs and applications, then profile how they perform. The goal is simple: learn where a system slows down or fails while you still control the conditions, not during a traffic spike in production.

Who it’s for#

Teams preparing for a launch, a campaign, or steady growth who need to know their capacity ceiling and where the bottlenecks are.

What it does#

• Load testing — push expected traffic at your system and watch how it responds.
• Stress testing — drive load past normal levels to find the breaking point.
• Performance profiling — measure how your APIs and applications behave so you can spot slow paths.
• Result review — execute a test and read the results to understand system behavior under pressure.

How it works#

Create a load test, execute it, and review the results. The test applies the load you define, and the results show how the system held up so you can compare runs and confirm fixes.

Why it matters#

Real traffic will find your limits whether or not you test for them first. Running load and stress tests on your terms turns a production incident into a tuning task you handle before release.
