How to Perform Load Testing in Spring Boot with Gatling

Load testing is a performance testing technique used to evaluate the behavior of a system under specific load conditions by simulating concurrent user activity and analyzing system responses. It involves generating realistic user scenarios, executing test scripts, and monitoring system metrics such as response time, throughput, and resource utilization to identify performance bottlenecks and scalability issues. Readers can explore load testing tools, methodologies, and best practices for assessing system performance, optimizing resource allocation, and ensuring reliability and scalability in production environments.
