No Assumptions on Architecture Without Load Testing

Recently, a client asked how effective the proposed conceptual solution architecture was. We approached this question primarily from the perspective of load endurance. A reasonably confident answer can only be given after conducting load testing. For this, the following prerequisites are needed: Representative data population in databases and data buses to simulate a real system. Load indicators that the system should be able to withstand. System usage scenarios to develop a load profile that closely mirrors real-world conditions. Minimal infrastructure setup for testing, including computing power, key services, and load testing tools. Additionally, a qualified specialist is required to: Define pass/fail criteria. Configure tools like Gatling , Yandex Tank , or JMeter . Analyze the results. It’s crucial for the client to provide both: Functional requirements , such as data access scenarios. Non-functional requirements , such as target load indicators. Only after successful load testing
