  • Optimization recommendations

Technical Stack

K6 JMeter/Gatling New Relic/Datadog Prometheus Grafana InfluxDB Docker

Key Considerations

Realistic test scenarios matching production traffic patterns

Infrastructure capacity for generating load

Monitoring all layers: frontend, backend, database

Testing both peak and sustained load scenarios

Cost of cloud resources during load tests

Success Criteria

Application handles expected peak load (2x current traffic)

Response times under 500ms at 95th percentile under load

Zero errors under normal load conditions

System recovers gracefully after spike tests

Performance bottlenecks identified and documented
