Michael helped us load test our website in anticipation of our annual Warehouse Sale. During the sale, the web trafic goes up exponentially and we were anxious to see if the website would be able to handle the load. Michael sat with us through the test and explained the results. He then made some recommendations to improve the performance. We followed those and re-tested the following week to confirm the improvements. During the sale, the website behaved exactly the same way as the test did, with similar numbers. It gave us was great peace of mind to see that. Michael also provided feedback during the sale, which went way beyond what we contracted him to do. Overall, I would highly recommend Michael and FTL Metrics for performance testing.

Mike was able to provide excellent services in a situation where a potential client asked us to simulate thousands of concurrent users accessing and interacting with our school administrative software.

This necessitated building and running up to 32 simultaneous script scenarios of usage by administrators, staff, teachers, and families, with each script containing a large number of actions to be executed. Many of these required conditional logic to determine next step and data entry simulation.

Mike was very responsive to our tight deadlines, worked well with us and the client staff, was adaptable to changing needs and requirements as presented by the client, and, overall, was a great resource for Skyward development staff.

And now the potential client is a customer!

Working with Mike is a pleasant experience. Mike excels in communication both technical and non-technical. He effectively guided us through the various load testing options he had to offer as we planned out our load testing strategy. During the test, Mike was highly informative as we attempted to pinpoint potentially problematic areas. His initial tests led us to leveraging AWS SQS queues, a technology that has been vital in keeping our application stable under load. His reports focused us in on requests that needed further optimization and JavaScript bundles that needed to be better optimized.

I highly recommend Mike’s services and look forward to working with him on this and many other future projects.

Mike was extremely professional in his approach, and worked diligently to help us out where he could.

Having flown across the globe to perform the work for us, he was committed to ensuring he left us with the skills and knowledge needed to maintain and measure our system performance ourselves. He was able to quickly direct us to focus on areas of risk and helped uncover some performance gains we could make.

Mike has continued to informally support us after contract end, which really shows his commitment to clients. We would not hesitate to engage Mike again!”

Be Prepared. FTL Metrics will help you be prepared for the growth of your business. Mike at FTL Metrics gave me a very valuable analysis of my website. He helped me understand what all of the data meant. And he helped me implement tools that made my website perform better so  I can keep my users engaged and happy.

My company was in need of specific metrics to understand the underlying load issues. After the initial load test and receiving a detailed set of analysis depicting the areas of concern, my team was able to troubleshoot and update the various areas to enhance performance. This was then validated with a second load test that blew away our expectations. The end result was a successful Black Friday – Cyber Monday. I can’t express how crucial it is to have a knowledgeable partner for load testing.

Michael went above and beyond!
