LoadPerformance

Validating the system meets capacity expectations under load — tools like k6, Locust, Artillery.

Why we need this / what value this brings

Confirms the system actually holds up under the load it's expected to handle, instead of assuming it will.

When to use this

Before a known traffic spike (launch, marketing push), or once capacity planning actually matters.

How to use or implement this

Load-test the specific endpoint likely to be the bottleneck (search/browse) rather than the whole system uniformly.

Research questions

  • Premature at MVP stage, but worth knowing which endpoint (likely search/browse) would buckle first.
