12 Toward responsiveness with load and chaos testing
This chapter covers
- Simulating users with Locust
- Load testing HTTP endpoints with Hey
- Chaos testing with Pumba
- Mitigating failures with explicit timeouts, circuit breakers, and caches
We have now covered all the important technical parts of the 10k steps challenge application: how to build web APIs, web applications, and edge services, and how to use databases and perform event-stream processing. By using Vert.x’s asynchronous and reactive programming, we can expect the set of services that form the application to be reactive : scalable as workloads grow and resilient as failures happen.
Are the services that we built actually reactive? Let’s discover that now through testing and experimentation, ...
