AC

Acme Corp

FinTech

Challenge

Acme's payment API struggled under Black Friday load spikes — every 1 second of latency cost $2M in lost revenue.

Solution

By running weekly k6 load tests through perfscale they identified a database connection pool exhaustion bug months before the peak season.

revenue protected

perfscale turned performance testing from a quarterly fire drill into a daily safety net.

TechStart

SaaS

Challenge

TechStart was manually running JMeter tests before each release — a 2-day process that blocked deployments and missed regressions.

Solution

They migrated to perfscale with k6 scripts in CI/CD. Every pull request now runs a 5-minute smoke test; full soak tests run nightly.

perf regressions shipped to prod

We went from 'hope it works under load' to actual data on every PR. Our confidence is night-and-day different.

GlobalScale

E-commerce

Challenge

Running Locust tests on rented VMs cost GlobalScale $12k/month and required a dedicated DevOps engineer to maintain the infra.

Solution

They moved the entire load testing infrastructure to perfscale — all test scripts live in GitHub, results stream into Grafana Cloud.

What engineers say

The GitHub Actions integration is seamless. We added performance gates to every service in a single afternoon.

Alex Kim

Senior SRE, DevTools Inc

Finally a load testing platform that doesn't require a PhD to configure. Our whole team can write and run tests now.

Tom Okafor

Engineering Lead, Startup.io

Real-time p99 graphs during a test run changed how we debug. We catch issues as they happen, not after.

Lisa Müller

Staff Engineer, CloudBase

We tripled our test coverage in 2 weeks after switching from self-hosted JMeter. Night and day difference.
