The Actor Model as a Load Testing Framework - Lambda Days 2023

Explore the relationship between the actor model and load testing in software development through this insightful conference talk from Lambda Days 2023. Delve into the concept of scalability under load and its importance in ensuring software success beyond initial deployment. Learn how the actor model can be applied as an effective framework for load testing, addressing various definitions of "load" in the software context. Discover a ready-to-use library that implements these principles, enabling developers to conduct comprehensive load tests and ensure their software meets service level agreements (SLAs) under extreme conditions. Gain valuable insights into maintaining software performance and reliability throughout its lifetime, drawing parallels with load testing practices in other engineering disciplines.
