Overview

What this engagement covers.

We model realistic load scenarios based on your traffic data and business context, then execute load, stress, and spike tests to find where your system degrades. Results include specific throughput limits, bottleneck identification, and tuning recommendations.

Traffic model design

Load scenarios built from production analytics, not synthetic guesses.

Load testing

Sustained traffic at target concurrency with latency and error rate baselines.

Stress testing

Incremental load beyond expected peak to find the breaking point.

Spike testing

Sudden traffic bursts simulating viral events or campaign launches.

Bottleneck identification

APM and infrastructure metrics correlated to isolate the constraint.

Tuning recommendations

Specific configuration, query, and infrastructure changes to address findings.
