Load Testing Services

Loadster offers a software-as-a-service load testing platform that most teams use day-to-day, plus limited availability for performance engineering service engagements for enterprises seeking a little extra help.

Load Testing SaaS Platform

The Loadster cloud testing platform runs your load tests, stress tests, and 24/7 site monitoring from 32 fully managed locations around the world, supporting both AWS and GCP clouds. You build your scripts and launch tests; Loadster handles the infrastructure, scaling, and reporting.

Loadster's load testing software-as-a-service platform is the recommended starting point for most teams. It offers transparent pricing in the form of usage-based Loadster Fuel or monthly plans, no long-term commitment, and is self-service from the first test onward.

We invite you to take a look at the Loadster load testing platform to learn more about the software-as-a-service testing platform.

Performance Engineering Services

Loadster's team is product-focused but sometimes has limited capacity for professional services engagements where we do the load testing and performance engineering work on your behalf. This is a good fit for organizations with more budget than time who need extra specialized assistance planning, scripting, testing, and analyzing application performance.

Professional load testing and performance engineering services are a good fit for teams with more money than time who require expert performance engineering help.

Frequently Asked Questions

What load testing services does Loadster provide?
Loadster provides two types of load testing services: a self-service cloud platform (the main SaaS product) and limited performance engineering service engagements for teams that need hands-on help. The platform is where most customers start, with support. Full professional service engagements are limited.
Does Loadster offer professional services or consulting?
Yes, on a limited basis. Loadster is primarily a self-service SaaS platform, but the team occasionally takes on professional performance engineering engagements that include planning, scripting, load testing, and performance tuning on a customer’s behalf. Get in touch at help@loadster.com if you think a professional engagement might be a fit.
Can I try Loadster's service before paying?
Yes! A free Loadster account comes with 50 units of Loadster Fuel, which is enough to run a handful of load tests or run site monitors. No credit card is required to get started.
Is load testing as a service worth the cost?
That depends, but for many teams it is time and money well spent. If your budget is limited, there are several excellent open source tools that you can stand up and use yourself. However, for frequent or large-scale testing the extra engineering time and infrastructure overhead costs can be substantial, so a load testing service can save you a lot of time.
