Load test your cloud infrastructure before
auto-scaling fails in production
Validate elastic scaling, multi-region performance, and cloud-native architectures with distributed load testing designed for modern cloud environments.
Why cloud testing breaks traditional tools
Cloud infrastructure requires dynamic scaling validation,
geo-distributed testing, and multi-tenancy considerations
that traditional tools simply cannot handle
Millions of concurrent
API calls
Mobile app launches and viral content create sudden spikes in backend API requests. Testing users locally tells you nothing about handling concurrent users.
Elastic resource management
Container orchestration, serverless functions, and managed services introduce dynamic resource allocation that requires sophisticated testing scenarios.
Geo-distributed performance
Multi-region deployments require testing from global locations to validate CDN performance, regional latency, and cross-zone data synchronization.
Multi-tenancy
resource contention
Shared cloud infrastructure creates unpredictable performance variations due to noisy neighbors and resource contention that affect application behavior.
FEATURE TOOLKIT
Cloud-native load testing designed for elastic infrastructure
Gatling's distributed architecture and cloud-first approach validates modern cloud applications under realistic conditions
Cloud-native observability
Stream Gatling metrics into Datadog or Dynatrace. Correlate load test results with infrastructure health, scaling events, and application telemetry in real time.
Geo-distributed load generation
Spin up distributed load generators across multiple regions and providers to replicate real-world user traffic. Validate latency, CDN behavior, and multi-region synchronization under realistic conditions.
Elastic scaling validation
Use Gatling’s flexible injection profiles and distributed traffic generation to trigger scale-up/down events. Verify that Kubernetes pods, EC2 auto-scaling groups, and serverless functions respond as expected, and catch misconfigured rules early.
Cost optimization
Run tests to right-size instances and compare performance vs. cost under realistic conditions, helping you avoid over- or under-provisioning.
CI/CD pipeline integration
Embed Gatling tests directly into your favorite CI/CD tool. Automate performance checks on every build or release so regressions are caught before they reach production.
Resilience & failover testing
Sustain realistic traffic with distributed load generators while executing chaos experiments. Use Gatling’s performance assertions and trend reports to confirm that failover, disaster recovery, and multi-zone resilience strategies keep your application within SLA under real load.
USE CASES
Every cloud deployment needs performance validation
Whether it's migration, scaling, or optimization, when your infrastructure is in the cloud, performance testing is critical
Test that your Kubernetes HPA, EC2 auto-scaling groups, and serverless functions scale correctly under varying load patterns and traffic spikes.
Ensure application performance consistency during cloud migration. Compare on-premises vs cloud performance and validate migration success.
Validate global application performance across AWS regions, Azure zones,
and GCP locations. Test CDN effectiveness and cross-region failover.
Right-size cloud resources based on actual performance data. Optimize instance types, database configurations, and storage solutions for cost-efficiency.
Simulate intense traffic to mobile backends, GraphQL endpoints, and edge-facing services.Surface thread saturation, connection pool exhaustion, and backend contention by pushing your infrastructure to its limits.
