SolutionLoad Testing

Validate your payments under
peak load

Simulate realistic high-volume transaction loads across multiple PSPs, test your failover routing under simulated outage conditions, and benchmark P50/P95/P99 latency — before your next peak event causes production failures.

RealTraffic patterns

Payment failures during peak events mean 100% revenue loss on every declined transaction. Black Friday, flash sales, and product launches all generate transaction spikes that can saturate unvalidated payment infrastructure. PSP rate limits, routing bottlenecks, and failover gaps only reveal themselves under real load — after the damage is done.

How PayServ load testing works

PayServ generates realistic transaction traffic and routes it through your multi-PSP configuration, capturing latency and failure data at every layer.

Five load test profiles for every use case

Ramp-Up Test

Gradually increase TPS from baseline to peak to identify the inflection point where latency degrades or errors spike. Used to find PSP rate limits and router saturation points.

Spike Test

Simulate an instant surge — from normal volume to 10× in seconds — to test how your routing layer handles sudden bursts. Common for flash sale and product drop scenarios.

Failover Simulation

Deliberately trigger a PSP failure mid-test to verify your failover routing activates within target SLAs. Confirms that transactions in-flight are retried on the backup PSP without customer-facing errors, targeting failover in <800ms.

Endurance Test

Run sustained moderate-to-high load for 6–24 hours to surface memory leaks, credential expiry issues, connection pool drift, and PSP API key rate limits that only manifest over extended periods.

Real-time metrics across every PSP

When to run a load test

Pre-Black Friday — Validate peak volume capacity before your biggest sales event
Product Launch — Stress test before a high-traffic product drop or marketing campaign
Geo Expansion — Add a new geographic market and validate PSP routing handles local card types
Failover Validation — Confirm your backup PSP activates within SLA when primary goes down
