Description
What this service covers
Discovering on a sale day that your database connection pool caps at 20 is expensive. We model realistic traffic from your analytics, including the ratio of browsing to checkout, and replay it with scripted load tools against a production-like environment. Load is increased until something fails, and then we find out why, whether that is a slow query, a saturated thread pool or a gateway rate limit. You receive measured limits, ranked bottlenecks and scripts you can rerun.
What you receive
- A traffic model built from real usage and the peak you anticipate
- Load scripts that stay with you for repeat testing
- Fully monitored soak, stress, peak and baseline test runs
- The failure point stated in requests per second and concurrent users
- Bottlenecks followed through application code, the database, caching and infrastructure
- Ranked optimisation recommendations, each with its expected gain
- A capacity plan for your projected growth
The work in 4 stages
-
01
Stage 1: Build the model
Traffic profiles come from your analytics and business forecasts.
-
02
Stage 2: Set up
The environment is sized, monitoring is added and scripts are written.
-
03
Stage 3: Push the load
A baseline run comes first, then rising load until failure, then a long soak.
-
04
Stage 4: Explain the results
Bottlenecks are pinned down and each recommendation is quantified.
Who it suits, and what we need from you
Ideal for
- Businesses with seasonal or campaign-driven traffic spikes
- Products that visibly slow down during office hours
- Teams planning infrastructure ahead of a launch
What we need from you
- A production-like environment we are allowed to push to failure
- Access to monitoring, or permission to install instrumentation
- Traffic data, or a realistic estimate of your expected peak
You share these through the brief on your order page after checkout.
What changes for your team
- Capacity decisions based on measurements, not guesswork
- You know the weakest component before customers find it
- Reusable scripts to check every future release the same way
Questions about this service
Can you run the test on our live system?
Our staging setup is far smaller than production. Does that matter?
Will you make the fixes?
This is a remote service: nothing is shipped physically, and the work is delivered into systems you control. See delivery and handover and refunds and cancellation for the full terms.
