Overview
The solution provides insights into crucial areas, such as the scalability and reliability of Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon E2) instances, Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS), or Amazon Elastic Kubernetes Service (Amazon EKS), the cold start and execution times of AWS Lambda functions, Amazon Relational Database Service (Amazon RDS) database query performance, and Amazon CloudFront response times. By simulating realistic load scenarios, you can optimize your infrastructure for both performance and cost-efficiency.

Customers
Calabrio
"At Calabrio, our mission is to help contact centers work smarter, faster and better. We needed to design a new, high-performing feature for a major customer -- fast. We used Distributed Load Testing on AWS to test our system’s performance at scale, without the need for costly enterprise testing licenses or writing custom orchestration code for open-source tools. With this AWS Solution, we designed and executed tests at six times the expected traffic volume and launched the new feature successfully and ahead of schedule."
Daryl Robbins, Senior Director, Engineering

MadeiraMadeira
"At MadeiraMadeira, ensuring the performance and scalability of our applications is essential, especially during high-traffic periods like Black Friday. With Distributed Load Testing on AWS, we are able to simulate complex large-scale scenarios and accelerate our non-functional validations. This AWS Solution removed technical barriers and helped us build greater confidence in our releases while keeping customer experience a top priority."
Michel Augusto, Quality Assurance Specialist

Arthurite Integrated
"Our team at Arthurite Integrated deployed an AI-powered chatbot and needed to ensure it could handle high-traffic volumes from millions of users, especially during peak periods. Traditional manual testing couldn't simulate the real-world usage patterns we expected, so we used Distributed Load Testing on AWS to validate the system's scalability, latency and fault tolerance under realistic workloads. With this AWS Solution we identified latency bottlenecks, leading to optimizations that improved our response time by 60%. Our error rates dropped by 45% and the system's throughput scaled 5x times higher under load. Auto-scaling also became 3x more responsive, ensuring a seamless user experience even during usage spikes."
Somtochukwu Ezepue, Founder/CEO
