Objective
- Evaluate the significance and performance of a virtual waiting room solution for domestic customers
- Simulate high-traffic scenarios with realistic, IP-diverse user loads
- Validate the platform’s ability to manage surges and maintain customer experience
Our Solution
- Selected a leading virtual waiting room solution for POC evaluation
- Developed and deployed k6 load testing scripts on AWS ECS to generate large-scale, IP-diverse traffic
- Configured test scenarios to mimic real-world user surges and access patterns
- Monitored system performance, queue management, and user experience metrics throughout the test
