How to not Crash in Prod, Load Testing Crash Course by Stéphane Landelle

Project teams must guarantee that their applications run successfully on production, not on the developers laptop or in the functional QA env. This is where load testing comes in.

But now you're being told that the application must be able to withstand "1,000 users for 1 hour" and you don't know what to make with this, or if this requirement even makes sense.

This session will give you all the basics about load testing to get started. How to properly express performance requirements, generate simulated traffic that's realistic for your use case and how to build efficient and maintainable load tests.
