Performance testing field notes
Practical guidance for teams moving from one-off load scripts to repeatable cloud and private-location performance workflows.
- API performance testing as a release gate · api performance, ci cd, release gates
A practical pattern for turning API load tests into CI/CD gates without hiding failures behind one average number.
- When private load generation beats public runners · byoc, private locations, load generation
Use private runner locations when the target is internal, regulated, latency-sensitive, or protected by network boundaries.
- Pair load tests with live observability · observability, run results, latency
What to watch during a load test: throughput, latency percentiles, errors, runner health, and the logs that explain failures.
- Why teams move load testing to the cloud · cloud load testing, managed runners, results
How managed runners, private locations, repeatable bundles, and shared run results make load testing easier to trust.
