Performance & Load Testing
Performance and load testing based on realistic user journeys and traffic patterns, with end-to-end measurements and analysis of the components responsible for degradation.
Performance problems often appear during launches, campaigns or unexpected traffic peaks. We model expected and worst-case demand and test applications, APIs and infrastructure under controlled load.
Scenarios are built from user journeys and production traffic patterns and executed with tools such as k6, JMeter, Gatling or Locust. Instrumentation is used to trace latency and resource exhaustion to the responsible query, service, connection pool or dependency.
Deliverables include measured capacity, degradation thresholds, identified bottlenecks, reproducible test suites and recommendations for scaling and resilience.
How it works
- 01
Scoping & modelling
Objectives, SLAs and success criteria; analyse production traffic and target load profiles.
- 02
Test design & instrumentation
Realistic scenarios in k6/JMeter/Gatling/Locust; representative environment; metrics and tracing.
- 03
Execution & analysis
Load, stress, soak and spike runs; capture latency percentiles, throughput and error rates.
- 04
Bottleneck diagnosis & reporting
Trace failures to root cause across app, database and infrastructure with reproducible evidence.
- 05
Remediation & retest
Support fixes and tuning, then re-run to verify and set new baselines (optional).
