Client Overview
The client is a renowned live course provider for key competitions like JEE, NEET, etc. With 6.5 million+ subscribers on YouTube and ever-growing results, the client has gained a major foothold amongst industry leaders.
Problem Statement
The client wanted to load test the website with 20,000 concurrent users.
A Comprehensive Live course taking environment was Load-tested.
The performance of the application over a huge load of unique users was monitored.
The client required a detailed analysis of the website response to a huge number of concurrent users.
Tech Stack
Solution Approach
Followed an iterative approach to run the load test first for 100 users, then 1000 and subsequently 20,000 users.
Implemented a distributed testing framework to run a huge Load Test.
Identified APIs with huge response time and max failure rate.
Monitored CPU usage, and memory usage throughout the test duration.
Ran 4 iterations of The Load test for 20,000 users to identify errors.
Benefits
Extensive analysis and recommendations helped improve overall performance and scalability.
Servers were stable and available/responded properly for consecutive hours of load testing up to 20,000 concurrent virtual users.
Response time for a smaller number of users grew sharply for a higher number of users.
Recommended the flow to reduce error from 60% to 2% over 4 load test iterations.
