Performance and Load Testing

Reviewed on: 2026-01-21 Status: Draft (not executed)

This document defines expectations for performance and load testing prior to production.

Objectives​

  • Validate latency and throughput under expected traffic.
  • Identify bottlenecks in notification queues, webhook processing, and storage.
  • Validate scaling behavior.
  • API load tests for critical endpoints.
  • Webhook ingestion burst tests (Stripe/PayPal).
  • Notification queue processing throughput.
  • Security scan performance on representative codebases.

Evidence Needed for Production​

  • Load test reports
  • Resource utilization metrics
  • Scaling and saturation analysis

Review Log​

  • 2026-01-21: Baseline guidance documented. Tests pending.
