The Problem

Load testing requires spinning up infrastructure that's used for 30 minutes then destroyed. k6 and JMeter require DevOps setup. Cloud load testing services charge $500+/test. Most teams skip load testing because it's too hard. Performance issues are discovered in production, not testing. No tool makes load testing as easy as unit testing.

The Solution

Load testing platform where developers write test scenarios in JavaScript/YAML, run distributed tests from 20+ global regions via API or CI/CD, and get performance reports with bottleneck identification — no infrastructure required.

Target Audience

Backend engineers validating API performance before launches, QA teams running load tests in CI/CD pipelines, and CTOs needing performance baselines before scaling

Key Features

1
Write tests in JavaScript (k6-compatible) or simple YAML definitions
2
Distributed execution from 20+ global regions simultaneously
3
CI/CD integration running load tests on every deployment
4
Real-time dashboards showing response times, error rates, and throughput
5
Automatic bottleneck detection identifying slow endpoints and resource limits
6
Historical comparison showing performance trends across deployments

Why Now?

APIs are the product — performance is critical. CI/CD adoption demands automated testing. Cloud infrastructure makes distributed testing affordable. Serverless scaling needs load validation. Performance SLAs are in every enterprise contract.
