In this article, you’ll be introduced to two tools: Speedscale and NeoLoad. Both of these tools offer you a way to load test your applications. This post will compare their ease of setup, development experience, fit within a modern infrastructure, and integration into CI/CD. Load testing is not a new concept in any way: the term was common even before Google Trends started recording data in 2004.

The staging environment plays a crucial role in product development. It's the last checkpoint before the product updates are live for customers.

This article will go through how traditional shared and static staging environments hinder faster deployments and efficiency.
