Load Testing
Load testing is an important phase of every project and must be conducted with care
and in coordination with Talon.One.
Important: If you are using a prospect deployment, do not perform load testing.
Configuring your deployment for load testing
Before launch, you may have less resources in Talon.One than what you will have once in
production. Ask Talon.One to configure your deployment with production-ready
resources. To do so, send an email to support@talon.one or
to your Technical Account Manager and include the following information:
- Planned date / time and duration of test
- Type (Capacity, Stress, Soak, ...)
- Max requests per second
- Your availability for a call before testing starts
Once Talon.One has configured your deployment, you can start planning your
load test, respecting the following best practices.
Load testing best practices
- Use Dry Runs when appropriate. For more information, see
Dry requests.
- Use a realistic number of requests reflecting your
peak traffic, or a reasonable multiplier over expected traffic.
- Send Update a Customer Session
requests to Talon.One only when needed, for example when a customer adds an
item/coupon to a cart.
- Randomize profileIDs and sessionIDs to avoid concurrent session updates. Due
to data integrity safety, Talon.One always processes one session update per
profileID at a time. Under normal usage of the API, multiple
Update a Customer Session
API calls for a given customer should not
be submitted in parallel. If you send concurrent sessions with the same
profileID, they will stack up and interfere with the load test.
