Business Compass LLC - AWS Performance Testing Services

Business Compass LLC is an Advanced Consulting Partner in the AWS Partner Network with proven experience delivering performance testing engagements for large logistics and supply chain companies, web companies, and media companies. We help you ensure your applications can handle peak traffic, prevent lost revenue from slow page loads, and protect your brand from downtime.

This service is ideal for engineering leads and CTOs who need to validate application performance before product launches, peak traffic events, platform migrations, or major releases. Whether you run an eCommerce platform preparing for seasonal spikes, a SaaS application scaling to new user thresholds, or a logistics system handling high-volume transactions, our team delivers the insights you need to go live with confidence.

Phase 1 - Discovery and Scoping We begin with a scoping call to understand your application architecture, traffic patterns, success criteria, and testing objectives. We define the scope including number of endpoints, target user loads, and environment requirements.

Phase 2 - Test Scenario Development Our team designs realistic test scenarios and test cases that model actual user journeys and traffic patterns specific to your application.

Phase 3 - Performance Benchmarking We execute baseline performance benchmarks to establish current system behavior under normal conditions.

Phase 4 - Load and Concurrency Testing We perform maximum user and concurrent user tests, ramping virtual users to identify breaking points and degradation thresholds.

Phase 5 - Analysis and Remediation We analyze performance test results, identify root causes of bottlenecks, and work with your team to resolve them.

Phase 6 - Validation Re-Test After remediation, we re-test to confirm improvements and document final performance baselines.

• Detailed performance test report with metrics, graphs, and analysis
• Bottleneck identification with root cause documentation
• Remediation recommendations prioritized by impact
• Before-and-after performance comparison
• Executive summary suitable for stakeholder communication

• AWS Distributed Load Testing for scalable, cloud-native test execution
• Amazon EC2 for flexible test infrastructure
• Open source and commercial load testing tools for scenario creation, virtual user ramp-up, and output capture

A large logistics company needed to validate that their shipment tracking platform could handle a 5x increase in concurrent users following a major customer onboarding. We designed realistic multi-step user journeys, executed progressive load tests using AWS Distributed Load Testing, identified three critical database query bottlenecks, and worked with their engineering team to resolve them. Post-remediation testing confirmed the platform handled the target load within acceptable response times.

• Access to a staging or pre-production environment for testing
• Application architecture documentation or walkthrough
• Defined success criteria (target response times, user loads)
• Coordination with your engineering team for remediation phase

Exclusions: Production code changes are the responsibility of your development team. Our service provides identification, analysis, and recommendations. Re-testing after remediation is included.

All environment credentials are handled securely and returned or destroyed upon engagement completion. Test data is transmitted over encrypted connections. We execute NDA agreements prior to engagement start. Test results and reports are shared through secure channels and retained only for the agreed project duration.
