Load Testing

We're using Locust.io for our load tests. The tests can be run locally or in a VM.

Available Option (Env Vars)

TARGET_URL - The host address that locust should load test against

If you're running the app locally http://docker.for.mac.localhost:8000
- This is for running on a mac, you may need to use other methods to get the container to communicate with localhost on other systems
Staging - https://staging.atat.code.mil
Prod - https://azure.atat.code.mil

DISABLE_VERIFY - False by default, set to true to prevent SSL verification

ATAT_BA_USERNAME + ATAT_BA_PASSWORD - Username and password for the basic auth on the staging and production sites

Build the docker container:

docker build . -t pwatat.azurecr.io/loadtest/locust
Run the container:

docker run --rm -p 8089:8089 \ -e TARGET_URL=https://staging.atat.code.mil \ -e DISABLE_VERIFY=false \ -e ATAT_BA_USERNAME=<username> \ -e ATAT_BA_PASSWORD=<password> \ --name locust pwatat.azurecr.io/loadtest/locust:latest

Build the docker container:

docker build . -t pwatat.azurecr.io/loadtest/locust
Push to our container registry

docker push pwatat.azurecr.io/loadtest/locust
- If you get an authorization failed message, you may need to re-authorize with this command first:
  
  az acr login --name pwatat
Restart the atat-load-test app service in the azure portal
- Note the load test service is running on a free tier VM, so it will likely be paused. Start it up and press restart to referesh before beginning your load testing.
