Load testing can determine whether your system will scale successfully during
production use, and find any bottlenecks that prevent it from scaling during an
event.
Three to five months before your event, you should perform load testing
on critical projects and workloads to simulate peak traffic.
Investigate the quota and cost implications of the load tests and consider
creatingCloud Billing budget alertsthat
will monitor the expense of the services that you are going to stress the most.
After each test, evaluate the results and use Capacity Planner to
visualize your usage and forecast data, and request quota increases as necessary.
For more information, seeUse Capacity PlannerandRequest a quota adjustment.
If you require assistance, contact your account team or TAM. They can help you
capture and plan architecture changes to improve the overall reliability and
availability of your services.
