Summary

The traditional method for load testing is time-consuming and cumbersome, requiring multiple steps such as writing test cases, building non-prod environments, and running tests. This approach has been criticized for being outdated and not suitable for modern cloud-native technologies. To address this issue, Speedscale was created to provide a new approach to scale testing using traffic replay, which enables teams to automate load testing with real traffic before deploying their applications in production. With Speedscale's traffic replay, teams can build test automation with the click of a button and get unlimited scalability without writing scripts or provisioning environments, and it integrates seamlessly with New Relic One for enhanced observability and visibility.
