Introduction
What is perfscale and why it exists
What is perfscale?
perfscale is a SaaS load testing platform that lets you run distributed performance tests without managing your own infrastructure. Write your test in k6, JMeter, Locust, or Artillery — perfscale schedules and runs it across your registered machines and collects the results.
Key concepts
| Concept | Description |
|---|---|
| Machine | A physical or virtual node that runs test agents |
| Test | A named test definition with its configuration and script |
| Task | A single execution of a test on one or more machines |
How it works
- Register one or more machines (bare metal, VMs, Docker containers)
- Create a test — pick a tool (k6, JMeter, …) and upload your script
- Trigger a task — perfscale distributes the load across your machines and streams results back in real time
