As you come close to launching your new web application, whether it be Sitecore, Node or plain ol’ HTML, it’s always good to validate how well it performs.
The cloud opens up lots of possibilities for how to approach this – including lots of online LTAAS (er, is load test as a service even a thing!?!? :))
We are using Azure Devops within our current project, so thought it be good to give their load testing features a blast. This came with mixed success, and a mixed $$$ cost.

Another approach is that you actually setup the infrastructure yourself. For our capacity and requirements this ended up being a much more favourable option – once we’d managed to get the most out of our kit.

set HEAP=-Xms256m -Xmx60g
then JMeter will sap up all 60GB of RAM it canJMeter has some really good plugins for modelling load, in particular around step’d load and realtime visualization of results.
