There's been precious little case studies about testing peak load scenarios and that really surprises me.<br /><br />-Jamiejamiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205835704950108652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5819898692345221601.post-76473252440684724702010-03-26T07:57:48.262+00:002010-03-26T07:57:48.262+00:00Hi Jamie

I've always thought that Azure itself would be a great method of simulating many users simultaneously hitting the service.<br />"Oh, you want 1000 users on demand for a sustained 5 minute period?" Well, that'll be 1000 Azure compute instances. Done. Next?"<br /><br />-Jamiejamiethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17205835704950108652noreply@blogger.com
