RedLine13 is a fully managed platform that integrates with seamlessly with AWS<\/a> to provide cost-effective cloud load testing as a service. Being fully managed means that the configuration, startup, data collection, and termination is handled automatically with no coding or scripting required. This means you can scale to any level simply by specifying the quantity of servers you wish to run, to nearly limitless capacity with minimal effort.<\/p>\n

RedLine13 Cloud Architecture<\/h3>\n

RedLine13 is a platform for load testing built in the cloud. Here is an overview showing our cloud based architecture:<\/span><\/p>\n

Starting from the lower left-hand corner in the yellow box, this represents the local machine environment where you would normally create your load test.\u00a0 You may execute your test from here, but to achieve any significant scale requires finding multiple machines to run your test in parallel.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scalability using the cloud is a key benefit of RedLine13.\u00a0 Once you have proven that your load test runs as-intended in your local environment, you can then upload your test to RedLine13.\u00a0 From there you can select any number of load generator servers to run your test on.\u00a0 Each load generator server will run an independent copy of your load test in parallel, multiplying the size of your test.\u00a0 Through integration with your AWS account, our systems will handle the provisioning, configuration, results collection, and termination of your load generator servers automatically behind the scenes.<\/span><\/p>\n
