Description

This lab uses an AWS infrastructure — Web, Application, and Database, to help you explore stress testing tools. You will configure the infrastructure in all these tools, configure them and then run a series of tests to assess their affects. Observability is the key to any successful platform and using monitoring, logging, and tracing to understand the operations is critical, especially when a bottle neck may be introduced. Using these stress tools allows you to simulate such a situation and discover how your platform behaves under workload. This will assist in troubleshooting, trending, etc. in the future.
