33. Serious talk
Huge load tests (BALT)
• Heavy
• Disruptive
• Weird in elastic envs
• Questionable in most cases
• Results don’t last long
• Code/Env freeze
• Need special ppl/resources
• Hard to integrate agile
• Increase cloud costs
• Only when needed
Mini load tests (Chihuahua)
• Light n lean
• Hardly noticeable
• Pulse of the solution
• Continuous and pipelines
• Results update frequently
• Run them everywhere no freeze
• Easy for whole team
• Agile create, update, run
• No impact
• Always, on every environment
36. Stop the
obsession
- You live in an apartment
- It is tiny and moving
- Lots of people in, moving
- Huge food and 💩
- Time requirements
- Could kill envs
37. Smaller
Is better
- Chihuahua first
- Little resources
- Wont kill anyone
- Purseable (pipelines)
- Can play inside (prod)
- Shareable n’friendly
