About this listen

Performance testing often fails for one simple reason: teams can't see where the slowdown actually happens.

In this episode, we explore Locust load testing and why Python-based performance testing is becoming the go-to choice for modern DevOps, QA, and SRE teams. You'll learn how Locust enables highly realistic user behavior, massive concurrency, and distributed load testing — without the overhead of traditional enterprise tools.

We also dive into:

Why Python works so well for AI-assisted load testing

  • How Locust fits naturally into CI/CD and GitHub Actions
  • The real difference between load testing vs performance testing
  • How observability and end-to-end tracing eliminate guesswork
  • Common performance testing mistakes even experienced teams make

Whether you're a software tester, automation engineer, or QA leader looking to shift-left performance testing, this conversation will help you design smarter tests and catch scalability issues before your users do.
