Case Overview
A leading technology firm partnered with us to enhance their application’s performance. Our goal was to ensure high availability, efficiency, and proactive risk management. By leveraging performance engineering and automation, we streamlined testing, optimized workload models, and improved overall system reliability.
ABOUT THE CLIENT
The client operates in the technology industry and has been working with us since 2020. They are based in the USA and required our performance engineering services to enhance their application’s stability and efficiency.
BUSINESS CHALLENGE
The client faced difficulties in maintaining application stability and performance while migrating to a new production environment. They needed a robust performance engineering strategy to prevent downtime, optimize testing efforts, and create a scalable, future-proof system.
Solution Overview
We began by setting a performance baseline to ensure a smooth migration with no unexpected issues. Our team implemented real-world production testing, using a risk-sensitive approach to evaluate performance under actual usage conditions. By analyzing over 250 API endpoints, we developed workload models that accurately mapped real-world user behavior.
To improve efficiency, we automated performance testing by integrating Blazemeter with CircleCI. This significantly reduced manual effort and streamlined the testing process. We also developed environment-independent and reusable Blazemeter scripts, ensuring sustainability for future performance tests. To further optimize operations, we designed a result analysis template, which expedited reporting and facilitated quicker decision-making.
IMPACT
Our efforts resulted in a 99.99% application availability, ensuring high reliability and uptime. By utilizing reusable components and automated testing, we achieved a 23% reduction in effort per person per month. Automation improved testing accuracy and efficiency, while proactive risk management helped identify and mitigate performance risks before they could impact real users.
