Performance testing of Microservices
Microservices' performance is crucial and executes performance tests at the unit level rather than at the application level. We need to ensure that performance tests have the following features:
- As realistic as possible and a real dataset should be used
- Load tests should represent the anticipated demand
- Testing should be as close to a realistic production setup as possible
- Microservices should be tested from the cloud using load testing tools
- Performance testing of Microservices is to observe how well the application performs when a high number of calls are made to Microservices or a large amount of data is transferred between individual services on the network
Load testing tools should be used to capture API transactions to scale up the load and monitor the infrastructure. Users can perform such activities on individual Microservices using load testing tools and monitor the infrastructure behavior.
