about this example
Load testing is essential to ensure applications can handle high traffic. This example illustrates:
- Load Testing Structure: Depicts a distributed load testing environment set up within Google Kubernetes Engine.
- Component Interaction: Shows how the test operator interacts with the system through a web interface and how load metrics are collected.
- Service Architecture: Details the configuration of locust-master and worker pods, and their communication with internal services.
- Traffic Management: Explains how REST traffic is managed and tested against a sample application in App Engine.
When to use
- Performance Testing: For setting up an environment to simulate traffic and test the scalability of web applications.
- Infrastructure Education: To educate engineering teams on the architecture of a distributed load testing setup in the cloud.
- Continuous Deployment Pipelines: As part of a CI/CD pipeline to ensure performance benchmarks are met before release.
How to use
- Start editing: Duplicate the example file and double-click on the diagram.
- Customize diagram: Add/modify nodes, groups, and relationships using a diagram-as-code syntax to align with your specific load testing requirements.
- Customize layout: Drag elements on the diagram directly on the canvas for optimal placement and readability.
- Collect feedback: Share the file with your team for collaborative editing and feedback to refine the load testing strategy.
