Load and performance testing tool
Use LoadStrike as a load and performance testing tool for API traffic, browser journeys, event-driven systems, reports, and transaction evidence.
How are load testing and performance testing connected?
Load testing applies demand to a system. Performance testing interprets whether the system stayed fast, reliable, and correct enough under that demand. LoadStrike combines those concerns in one scenario and reporting model.
Use LoadStrike when the evaluation needs both load shape and performance evidence across APIs, browser workflows, event-driven systems, services, and reports.

Who this is for
Teams that do not want separate tools for basic load generation, report review, and transaction-aware workflow validation.
Why one request is often not enough
A load generator can prove that requests were sent, but the performance question often asks whether the real workflow completed on time and with acceptable failure behavior.
How LoadStrike fits
LoadStrike gives teams one code-first model for scenarios, simulations, thresholds, reports, and supported workflow extensions.
Verified LoadStrike fit points
- Model load with documented simulation options.
- Measure success, failures, latency, bytes, and thresholds in reports.
- Add transaction, browser, event-stream, gRPC, or WebSocket context where supported.
- Use the same product surface from a first quick start to wider team evaluation.

Common questions
Common questions
Is LoadStrike both a load testing and performance testing tool?
Yes. LoadStrike supports load simulations, performance checks, thresholds, and report outputs in one scenario model.
When should teams add workflow context?
Add workflow context when the performance result depends on work after the first request, such as a message, browser state, worker, stream, or downstream service.
What is the fastest way to evaluate LoadStrike?
Start with the quick start, inspect the local report, then add the workload features needed by the real system.

Load simulations describe how traffic should arrive over time. Use them to model the shape of the workload instead of only its peak.
Thresholds are the pass or fail rules for a run. Use them when the test needs to decide whether the observed behavior was acceptable.
This page explains how to read a LoadStrike report. Use it when you want to know what each section means and where to look first.
