Introduction to Load Testing
You might think that your application scales well, but what will happen if you deploy it in production and it crashes and burns as the number of users increases. Whether it crashes completely or “just” becomes extremely slow, the end result is the same – it is essentially unavailable to the users.
To avoid that, you need to stress the application before the deployment and measure how well it performs under load and how well it scales.
In this session we will discuss load testing in general and talk about what you need to measure, how you need to measure it, and what conclusions you can draw from the results.
