Mastering Global Scalability and Resiliency Testing

In the modern digital landscape, systems must not only handle growing workloads but also maintain seamless functionality during disruptions—both of which are critical for ensuring uninterrupted operations and user satisfaction. Scalability enables systems to efficiently manage increasing demands without compromising performance, while good resiliency safeguards their ability to recover quickly from failures and maintain reliability. As organizations increasingly rely on distributed systems and microservices, these capabilities are no longer optional—they are essential to preventing costly downtime and performance bottlenecks. This white paper explores virtual user testing methodologies for scalability and resiliency, identifies common challenges, and introduces Maelstrom’s innovative solutions for addressing these pressing needs.
