Performance Testing

Slow response times, resource exhaustion, downtime and waiting on workloads lead to dissatisfied users. Load Testing proves the platform remains stable under heavy workloads and can recover quickly from failures. Our Achievers multi-cluster kubernetes platform needs to be flexible to handle predicted and unexpected traffic. The SRE team designed a…

Welcome to a series of blogs dedicated to demystifying JMeter and performance testing! If you’re new to these topics or have struggled to grasp the concepts, you’re in the right place. In this series, we will dive into the world of JMeter, a powerful open-source tool, and explore its usage…

Distributed Performance Testing Platform — What is Ddosify? Ddosify is a comprehensive performance testing platform, designed specifically to evaluate backend load and latency. It offers three distinct deployment options to cater to various needs: Ddosify Engine, Ddosify Self-Hosted, and Ddosify Cloud. Installation ddosify is available via Docker, Docker Extension, Homebrew Tap, and downloadable pre-compiled binaries from the releases page…

When someone is looking for a opensource performance testing tool my answer has always been gatling. It’s code-like scripting enables everyone in the team to easily write and maintain tests scenarios and seamlessly automate them in your continuous delivery pipeline. I would like to share some ways in which you…

“Effective performance of a software or an application is always preceded by many …. many rounds of painstaking scale testing!” What’s the point of doing only functional testing to end up with a software with excellent features but poor performance on usage of those features? People are addicted to performances…

This article is aimed at people looking to analyze Timeseries data such as Response Time of APIs. Its not about learning statistics but on how to use it to analyze timeseries data and to extract useful information from it. There are a couple of statistical terms we are going to…

How does Apache Kafka measure up after introducing KRaft? — Author: Tristan Stevens Last year, we ran a performance benchmark of Apache Kafka® vs. Redpanda across three different workloads. The evidence was clear: Redpanda is up to 10x faster than Kafka while running on significantly fewer nodes. But our work doesn’t stop there, and competition drives innovation. When releasing exciting…

Alright, folks! Today we’re going to deep dive into the amazing world of API performance testing using one of my all-time favorite tools, Locust. If you’ve not heard about it, Locust is a lean, mean, open-source load testing machine, that uses Python to make it super easy to work with…

Hello, this article will be a little more theoretical and compare Jmeter and Locust performance tools in general. First, we’ll talk about what they are. What is JMeter? JMeter is a Java-based open-source tool developed by Apache Software Foundation for performance testing of web applications. It is used to simulate a heavy load…
