Transaction-aware load testing

Load test the full path, not just the first request. Start from real traces.

LoadStrike is a self-hosted load testing, performance testing, and stress testing tool for real transactions.

Use one code-first runtime across APIs, queues, services, and browser steps.

  • Self-hosted load, performance, and stress testing.
  • APIs, streams, browser journeys, and services in one run.
  • Clear reports that show where the transaction slowed or failed.
Direct answer

What is LoadStrike?

LoadStrike is a self-hosted load testing, performance testing, and stress testing tool for teams that test full workflows, not only single endpoints.

It is strongest when a run must explain API traffic, event streams, browser journeys, and downstream completion in one report.

Trace-To-Test Autopilot

Turn production-like evidence into a reviewed load test draft.

Use existing evidence to create a safer first test draft.

Bring evidence

Use a HAR, OpenTelemetry trace, browser recording, or message pair.

Generate safely

Autopilot hides secrets and asks for review before replay.

Start ahead

Get endpoints, selectors, thresholds, and a starter scenario.

Best-fit workloads

Use LoadStrike when the answer comes after the first hop.

Best for workloads that cross more than one system.

API to async completion

Measure the request that starts the workflow and the downstream event or service that proves it actually finished.

See transaction load testing

Browser plus backend correlation

Run Playwright or Selenium journeys and still connect the UI action to backend completion.

See browser load testing

How it works

Follow one clear path from workload trigger to final report.

Most teams only need four concepts to understand what LoadStrike is doing.

01 Start with the real trigger

Define the request, message, or browser action that begins the transaction.

02 Track the shared field

Use the same tracking selector across source and destination so the workflow can be matched correctly.

03 Correlate across the handoffs

Keep APIs, brokers, services, and browser steps inside one measured path.

04 Read one report

Review summary, failures, thresholds, and latency in one place.

Why it is different

Built for workflows that cross APIs, streams, services, and browser journeys.

Use it to see whether a transaction completed, timed out, duplicated, or failed.

Product proof

See the report before you go deep.

Start with the report model, then use the quick start and protocol guides.

  • Trace-To-Test Autopilot creates a first draft from real behavior.
  • HTML, CSV, TXT, and Markdown reports come from each run.
  • Grouped correlation shows latency by tenant, region, or event type.
  • The same model supports local runs, clusters, sinks, and browser journeys.

Common questions

Questions teams ask before they move beyond endpoint-only testing

These answers keep the evaluation short before you step into the quick start, report guide, or comparison pages.

Is LoadStrike a load testing tool or a performance testing tool?

It is both. LoadStrike is a code-first load testing and performance testing tool that also supports stress testing when teams need to validate complete software transactions under pressure.

What is Trace-To-Test Autopilot in LoadStrike?

Trace-To-Test Autopilot turns HARs, OpenTelemetry traces, browser recordings, or message samples into a safer starter scenario that engineers can review carefully before running real load.

What does transaction load testing mean in LoadStrike?

It means measuring the full workflow that matters to the business, including the request, the async handoff, the downstream service, and the final completion signal.

When is LoadStrike a better fit than an endpoint-only load tool?

Use LoadStrike when success is visible only after another system, queue, browser step, or service finishes its work, and the report needs to explain that full path.

Which SDKs and workflow types does LoadStrike support?

LoadStrike keeps one model across C#, Go, Java, Python, TypeScript, and JavaScript so teams can test API traffic, browser journeys, stream transports, reports, and supported cluster execution in their preferred language.

Can LoadStrike combine browser, API, and async system behavior in one report?

Yes. A scenario can include browser actions, API calls, and async tracking so the report shows where the full journey passed, slowed down, or failed.
