This post guides you to write and execute a simple Gatling API load test using JavaScript to ensure the stability, speed, scalability, and responsiveness of your application under a given workload. You may have written unit tests and functional tests, and the application looked good, so you shipped it to production. However, it suddenly crashes, experiences performance issues, or encounters API request timeout errors....
