An easy-to-use scalable cloud platform specially created for load testing heavy-duty backend services. The powerful Megaload load engine can generate up to 100,000 simultaneous users per one Amazon instance. The UI allows developers or testers to install and deploy the load generator nodes with just a few clicks. The UI also provides operators a powerful graphing system for real-time monitoring and allows for a quick release of the hardware or virtual instances whenever they are not in use, saving time and money.

Megaload tests can be specified using JSON for HTTP testing and Erlang scripts for XMPP testing. Megaload provides a full HTTP client stack, including cookie handling, HTTP redirects, persistent connections, Keep-Alive handling, SSL support and Chunked-Transfer Encoding support. Megaload also allows for testing stateful interactions by using previous responses to parametrise the HTTP requests in your tests.
