The adoption of microservices architecture has become increasingly prevalent, offering benefits such as agility, scalability, and resilience. However, ensuring the performance and reliability of microservices presents unique challenges for testers and developers alike.

As an engineer, it’s crucial to identify tuning and optimization issues early in the development cycle. Delaying the resolution of these defects can significantly increase the cost of addressing them as your code progresses through the development process. In this session, we will dive into a journey to demystify performance testing for microservices architecture and explore strategies for early detection of optimization issues to minimize the impact on project timelines and resources. Drawing upon real-world experiences and best practices, we will explore the intricacies of testing the performance of distributed systems composed of loosely coupled microservices.
