Load Testing With Postman

Load Testing with Postman is all about testing how well your API performs when it's under different levels of traffic or load. It allows you to simulate real-world usage, where multiple users might be sending requests to your API at the same time. By using Postman for load testing, you can assess how your API handles things such as Concurrent Users, Response Time, and Error Rates.
Postman offers several load profile options, like Fixed, Ramp Up, Spike, and Peak to test various traffic scenarios. You can set up tests with a specific number of virtual users, define test duration, and tweak other settings to simulate realistic conditions your API might face in production.

Using load testing in Postman can help identify potential bottlenecks, scalability issues, or vulnerabilities before they impact real users. It’s an essential step to ensure that your API performs efficiently, even during peak traffic periods, and it helps improve overall reliability and user experience.

With Postman’s intuitive interface and powerful performance testing tools, you can make sure your API is ready for whatever traffic comes its way.
