How can I perform load testing on my Express.js application?

You can use tools like Apache JMeter, Artillery, or k6 to perform load testing on your Express.js app. Would you like to know how to set up one of these tools?

Yes, can you explain how to set up Artillery for load testing?

Sure! First, install Artillery using npm: npm install -g artillery. Then, create a configuration file to define your test scenarios.

What should I include in the configuration file?

Include the target URL, the number of virtual users, and the duration of the test. You can also specify different HTTP methods and payloads.

Can I see an example of a configuration file?

Absolutely! Here's a simple example:

config:
  target: 'http://localhost:3000'
  phases:
    - duration: 60
      arrivalRate: 5
scenarios:
