Guide to Load Testing Microservices Architectures in Cloud Environments (2026 Edition)

20 minutes readKey takeaways Testing services individually misses the failures that appear when they call each other. Include service discovery, retries and timeouts in the test; they cause cascading failure. Trace across services or you will find the symptom rather than the source.

Guide to Performance Testing APIs with OAuth2 Authentication (2026 Edition)

18 minutes readKey takeaways OAuth2 makes load testing harder because tokens expire mid-test and refresh adds its own latency. Acquire tokens outside the measured path, then measure the API rather than the auth server. Model token lifetime deliberately. A test that never refreshes is not testing production. Clearing Up Misconceptions: What API Performance Testing Really Means Functional… Read more »
