However, actual users generate dozens of requests at varying intervals while they navigate your website, resulting in a wide variety of API calls to your backend server.

We must be able to model virtual users and unleash a whole bunch of them on our servers to find the breaking point of our server. OctoPerf is an easy-to-use service to execute such load tests, and it's located at https://octoperf.com. OctoPerf offers a free tier that allows for 50 concurrent users/test over unlimited test runs with two load generators.
