Infrastructure Performance

About industry

Getting start of Performance Testing for Website Deployment on Infrastructure Now-a-days, the smooth user experience demand that infrastructure components always be engineered and optimized at the backend. Infrastructure Performance Testing (Infra PT) is a focused methodology within the field of application performance testing that allows one to measure and improve underlying hardware or network supporting an application or service in general. This testing is to review performance counters around CPU utilization, memory usage, network bandwidth and system processes to help organizations nip any bottlenecks in the bud before its environment reaches its limit and impacts the end consumers. Stress Landmark, at QOBOX our strategy for Infra Performance Testing is to observe and inspect how system performs under load so we can figure out its scalability, stability & robustness. Our approach to performance tests is multi-layered, this means that we carry out tests across layers (UI and/or API for example) in order for the infrastructure to get a lot of real world traffic with best possible response times even from start. Infra Performance Testing for us looks like: Scalable and real-time monitoring of system resources (CPU, memory, network and disk). Load / stress testing that peaks user traffic and measures systems stability. Generates action items via automated perf. quantization using industry standard tools. Cost-Effective Scaling via Bottleneck Optimization Recommendations for scaling . our methodical methodology improves reliability, takes out the element of downtime and optimizes resource allocation so that the digital infrastructure is fully baked for production upgrade.

Key Approaches

System resource observation

Observes how much CPU, memory, Network IO and disk are being used; to identify part of performance bottlenecks using tools like Prometheus, Grafana or New Relic. How? Load testing : In order to evaluate system scalability and response time such as number concurrent users we could use JMeter, LoadRunner & k6.

Stress Testing

Put your system under unrealistic stress to determine where it breaks, checks stability under high-loads using Locust and BlazeMeter.

Benchmarking (Geekbench and SysBench)

benchmarks the speed against predefined benchmarked, and industry standards metrics. Stress (Soak) testing allows you to perform long-runs(24-72 hours) stress test on systems which detect both Memory leaks and Long-term performance degradation using AWS CloudWatch / Elastic search ELK Stack.

CI/CD-friendly Testing

Perf testing which automate performance tests in the development pipeline so it is continuously optimized using Jenkins & Kubernetes Performance Testing Profile & root cause analysis– Profiling tools, like Dynatrace, New Relic to diagnose problem, and optimal Resource Allocation to caching, load balancing etc.

Benefits

Infrastructure Performance Testing (Infra PT) has many benefits because:

Better System Stability & Reliability

Identifies bottlenecks in system CPU memory network disk before they fail Ensures that you can perform well under loads(hotness) Increased Scalability Measures the system performance on peak loads and also works to implement properly the autoscaling processes. Avoid over-flow while high traffic spikes happen

Resource Optimization

Can fine-tune both hardware and software combinations for better performance. Cost Savings — Empties unnecessary CPU/memory, resulting in less cost. Dépêche des performances à temps Detects, latency, bad response time „code smelly“ and system crashes before integration. Prevents post build failure and rubies on user experience

Incident Resolution faster

Real-time monitoring and alerts will help us respond immediately when something goes wrong. Performance insights to Reduce troubleshooting time leads in saving time Through integrated CI/CD Performs automations on the performance tests within the CI/CD pipelines, which improves continual enhancements. Detects regressions early, so that performance will not degrade as time goes on.

Improved Infrastructure Investment Decision Making

Delivers accurate visibility for infrastructure cloud and on-premises, powered by cost-effectively [] Considerations for the future upgrades and capacity growth. QOBOX implements Infrastructure Performance Testing, so their system is a high performance, scalable & user friendly one with low operational risks as well.
