Load and Performance Test Run

We find where your system breaks under load and tell you which component gives way first, with the numbers.

Overview

What this engagement is

Sale day is a poor time to discover your connection pool caps at 20. We model realistic traffic, including the ratio of browsing to checkout that your analytics actually show, and drive it with k6 against a production-like environment. Load ramps until something gives, and we identify precisely what: a slow query, a thread pool, a rate limit at the payment gateway. You get the breaking point in requests per second, the bottleneck ranked in order, and specific fixes with the improvement each is expected to deliver.

Deliverables

What lands in your repositories

7 items
  • Load model built from your real traffic patterns and peak expectations
  • k6 or JMeter scripts you keep and can re-run yourself
  • Baseline, peak, stress and soak test runs with full metrics
  • Breaking point identified in requests per second and concurrent users
  • Bottleneck analysis across application, database, cache and infrastructure
  • Ranked optimisation recommendations with expected gains
  • Capacity plan for your projected growth

Outcomes

What changes once it ships

Capacity decisions based on measurement rather than instinct

The first component to fail is identified before your customers find it

Reusable scripts so every future release can be checked

Process

How the 4 stages run

  1. 01

    Model

    traffic profiles built from analytics and business expectations

  2. 02

    Prepare

    environment sized, monitoring instrumented, scripts written

  3. 03

    Run

    baseline, then progressive load to failure, then a soak test

  4. 04

    Analyse

    bottlenecks identified and recommendations quantified

Booked most often by

  • Businesses with seasonal or campaign-driven traffic spikes
  • Products that slow down noticeably during working hours
  • Teams sizing infrastructure ahead of a launch

What we need from you

  • A production-like environment we may push until it fails
  • Monitoring access, or permission to install instrumentation
  • Traffic data or an honest estimate of expected peak load

These are collected in the technical brief that opens in your dashboard the moment payment clears. The clock starts when they arrive, not before.

Answers

Questions this engagement raises

Only with strict limits, off-peak, and with your explicit agreement. A production-like staging environment is safer and more useful.

We scale results with clear caveats and state the uncertainty. Testing a tenth-size environment tells you about shape, not absolute limits.

Not in this package. Optimisation work is quoted once the bottlenecks are known.

This is engineering work, not a physical product — nothing ships and there is no stock to run out of. Delivery is to the working days stated above, into systems you control, and the refund terms set out what happens if we miss the date.
