Outages, distributed load testing - from 2014

Outages are common these days. It was not so common in 2013-14, when we took BlueJeans to four 9s availability.

I just came across this session which I did in 2014 at AWS user group, Bangalore. The presentation was mostly about the load testing tool which we developed in-house. A distributed load testing tool to generate 100s of thousands of audio-video endpoints along with all the API calls and WebSocket connections it needs!

We designed the load generation tool as a highly scalable distributed system, as it needs a lot of computing power to simulate 100K+ automated endpoints. It starts 100s of AWS/GCP instances before starting the fire. Fully automated, Get - Set - Fire !

Not writing a lot here. Checkout the slides below, if it sounds interesting. Let me know if you have further questions!

Those days... Meetups.. Adding some pics for memories!
