in production
Yes, really.
14. Production Testing:
Goal: see where it strains, but never knock it over.
Must have: Orchestrator with a pulse on it all.
Homework: Learn about “test mode” from
your credit card gateway provider.
15. Readiness Tip #3
Pull out cables and plugs.
See what happens.
Prove you have no single point of failure (SPOF)
between the outside world and your systems:
ISPs, Routers, Firewalls, Load Balancers
18. Why “test” your CDN
You need to KNOW how well your CDN is protecting
user experience and relieving backend stress.
(A plan is good, proof is better)
19. Why “warm up” your CDN?
Make sure the items are on the shelves before
customers show up to browse.
Run external tests
with full geographic diversity
and at reduced scale
20. Warm up your cache too…
If you use caching, sending virtual users along to
force common assets into cache will make the real-
users visits more crisp.
At the beginning of tests, performance is sub-par and
then it improves. Let virtual users experience that,
not your customers.
