  • Load testing with Locust
  • Load testing Dapr
  • Autoscaling with KEDA

Load testing is an important practice in software development. It offers developers and operators a scientific approach, guided by practices and tools, to finding the best possible answer to various questions, such as how will this application react to an increase in requests?
