Load testing is a critical aspect of performance engineering, ensuring that your application can handle the expected user load while maintaining stability.
Apache JMeter and Gatling are two popular tools for load and performance testing, but they have differences in performance, ease of use, and scripting.
JMeter uses a multi-threaded model and supports various protocols, but its performance can degrade with increasing virtual users.
Gatling, designed for high-performance scenarios, handles more users with less resource consumption and provides efficient scripting using Scala.
