2021.12

Improvements & Bug Fixes

  • Made single bot scripts play in AWS Lambda instead of shared engines in most regions, for greater reliability.

  • Made Browser Bots send the X-Loadster-User header like Protocol Bots do.
  • Fixed a bug with deleted engines showing up in the Script Player dropdown.
  • Fixed a scrolling issue with the script editor caused by hitting the space bar while playing a script.
  • Improved a misleading error message when timing out after a click action.

Further Reading

Moving single-bot script playback to AWS Lambda was a behind-the-scenes infrastructure change, but it improves reliability and redundancy when playing scripts in the editor and for monitoring.

Loadster runs cloud infrastructure across multiple regions, and Lambda playback takes advantage of some of that same regional footprint, so that scripts can still run if the shared script players are down.
