Load testing your Apache Kafka® cluster and consumer applications

Load testing is crucial for optimizing real-time data streams using Apache Kafka®. It helps determine the system's maximum capacity, breaking points, and recovery capabilities without manual intervention. There are three main types of load testing: stress, spike or surge, and soak tests. These tests help engineers understand their project's limitations before deployment to prevent potential disasters like Robinhood's outage on a historic trading day.
