Aptura is now Loadium's official APAC partner.

Aptura is now the official APAC partner for Loadium, a cloud load-generation platform we use to scale performance tests to millions of concurrent users.

Why Loadium

We’ve been designing and running load tests for Australian organisations for years, including some of the country’s largest. The hard part of testing at serious scale has always been the load generation itself — standing up and coordinating enough infrastructure to simulate hundreds of thousands or millions of users. Loadium solves that. It runs the tools we already use — JMeter, Gatling, Locust, Selenium — and generates load from multiple geographic regions on demand.

Aptura brings the performance testing expertise — our team has designed and executed some of Australia’s largest load tests — and Loadium gives us the platform to scale those tests to millions of users. Together it means Australian businesses can walk into any peak traffic event knowing exactly how their systems will behave.

Who should be load testing?

Not just the tech giants. If your users depend on your service during peak periods, you should know your limits before they do. That includes emergency services, government platforms, online retail heading into Christmas, banking and payments, and patient portals. We’ve written before about what happens to retailers who skip it.
