Azure Load Testing helps you gain confidence in your application and architecture, knowing that it will scale and perform as required to meet business needs. And if it doesn't, you can quickly identify where the bottleneck in your application architecture is.

You can easily integrate load testing into your CI/CD process to build confidence during the build and release process of your applications. Join me for a closer look at Azure Load Testing, a new fully managed testing service from Microsoft!
