Transaction-aware load testing

Test complete transactions. Start from real traces.

Trace-To-Test Autopilot turns captured behavior into a safe starter scenario, then LoadStrike validates the full workflow under load.

Follow one transaction across APIs, brokers, services, and browser steps so the report shows whether the whole path completed under load.

  • Trace-To-Test Autopilot turns real traces into safe starter scenarios.
  • Transaction-aware load testing for APIs, streams, services, and browser journeys.
  • Correlated reports that show what happened after the first request returned.
Direct answer

What is LoadStrike?

LoadStrike is a self-hosted transaction load testing platform with Trace-To-Test Autopilot for engineering teams that need to turn real workflow evidence into safe starter scenarios.

Instead of stopping at the first request, LoadStrike correlates source and destination activity so teams can see whether the business path still completed correctly and on time under load.

Trace-To-Test Autopilot

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

Autopilot gives teams a faster, safer path from "we have traces" to "we have a scenario we can run and improve."

Bring evidence

Use a HAR, OpenTelemetry trace JSON, browser recording, or source and destination message pair from the workflow you already know matters.

Generate safely

Autopilot redacts secrets, blocks unsafe replay targets, and asks for target binding or review before it can build a runnable scenario.

Start ahead

Get inferred endpoints, tracking selector suggestions, starter thresholds, and a one-iteration scenario draft you can harden from there.

Best-fit workloads

Use LoadStrike when the system answer arrives after the first hop.

These are the common shapes where transaction-aware testing is easier to trust than request-only measurement.

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

Kafka and event-driven systems

Keep broker handoffs, consumer lag, and downstream completion inside the same performance story.

See Kafka load testing

Browser plus backend correlation

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

See browser load testing

Distributed execution

Spread the workload across coordinator and agents without losing one merged result surface.

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

Move from summary to failed rows, thresholds, and grouped correlation without stitching tools together.

Why it is different

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

LoadStrike is the fit when the question is whether the transaction completed, timed out, duplicated, or failed downstream under load.

Product proof

See the result surface before you commit to implementation depth.

Evaluators usually want proof, not more theory. Start with the report model, then move into the quick start and protocol guides that match your workload.

  • Trace-To-Test Autopilot gives teams a credible first draft from real observed behavior.
  • HTML, CSV, TXT, and Markdown reports come from the same run result.
  • Grouped correlation helps teams review latency by tenant, region, event type, or another business slice.
  • The same runtime model spans local runs, clustered execution, built-in 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.

What is Trace-To-Test Autopilot in LoadStrike?

Trace-To-Test Autopilot turns captured workflow evidence such as HAR files, OpenTelemetry trace JSON, browser recordings, or source and destination message samples into a safe starter scenario. It redacts secret-like values, blocks unsafe replay targets until they are bound, and returns readiness guidance before the scenario can run.

What does transaction load testing mean in LoadStrike?

In LoadStrike, transaction load testing means measuring the full workflow that matters to the business, not just the first request. A scenario can start at an API or browser action, continue through queues and services, and report whether the downstream completion still happened inside the expected time window.

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

LoadStrike is a better fit when success is visible only after the first hop, such as event-driven processing, browser-driven workflows, or service chains that fan out into downstream systems. Those cases need correlation and grouped reporting, not only ingress throughput and response latency.

Which SDKs and workflow types does LoadStrike support?

LoadStrike keeps one public model across C#, Go, Java, Python, TypeScript, and JavaScript. Teams can use that shared runtime for API traffic, browser journeys, Kafka and other stream transports, grouped correlation analysis, and self-hosted coordinator-agent execution where the plan allows it.

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

Yes. LoadStrike can run browser actions, API calls, and downstream event tracking inside one scenario so the final report reflects the whole user or business journey. That makes it easier to compare where latency entered the path instead of reading disconnected tools after the run.
