They create JMeter test plans designed to run for a given period of time and a given size of users. Then they fire it on various machines using RedLine13. Some tests have run for more than 27 hours on 30 AWS servers. The AWS cost for that test was only $121. There was no RedLine13 cost above the existing subscription <a href=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/2016\/04\/pricing-and-features\/\">pricing<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>So far their testing efforts with RedLine13 have provided good information as to how well their system behaves under loads over time. Eldad Uzman, Automation Engineer, works very closely with the development team to resolve issues that have been discovered by the tests. They have made code improvements, changes to their infrastructure, and new fault tolerance configurations which have significantly reduced the risks of DDoS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Run your own test on&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/Service\">RedLine13<\/a> and see how it can help with your soak testing needs.<br><br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"2400\" height=\"1044\" src=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sure-Petcare-lifestyle-1.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-5607\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sure-Petcare-lifestyle-1.jpg 2400w, https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sure-Petcare-lifestyle-1-300x131.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sure-Petcare-lifestyle-1-1024x445.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sure-Petcare-lifestyle-1-768x334.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sure-Petcare-lifestyle-1-1536x668.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sure-Petcare-lifestyle-1-2048x891.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.redline13.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Sure-Petcare-lifestyle-1-1568x682.jpg 1568w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 2400px) 100vw, 2400px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Animal intelligence meets the world of pets.
