READY FOR travel SEASON?
Ready
for peak season
When seconds of downtime cost millions, speed and reliability are non-negotiable. Gatling helps you find and fix performance bottlenecks, before they impact your customers.
Concert tickets, event releases, and limited offers create massive simultaneous booking attempts that can crash your platform in minutes. Without queueing logic and horizontal auto-scaling, systems can crash from CPU exhaustion or database connection saturation.
Summer holidays, winter breaks, and travel seasons drive 10x traffic increases requiring robust infrastructure scaling. API rate limiting, caching strategies, and load balancer configuration must handle sustained high throughput without degrading search response times
Flight searches, hotel availability, and price comparisons must return results in under 2 seconds to maintain user engagement. Complex queries against GDS systems, inventory databases, and pricing engines require optimized connection pooling and efficient caching layers.
60%+ of traffic is mobile. That means high-latency networks, device variability, and fragmented client behavior. APIs must support lightweight payloads, retry logic, and graceful degradation while maintaining session state across intermittent connections.
Booking confirmations and payment processing delays lead to cart abandonment and lost revenue during checkout. Payment gateway timeouts, PCI compliance requirements, and fraud detection systems add latency that must be optimized without compromising security.
Integration with airlines, hotels, and GDS providers creates complex dependencies that need performance validation. Third-party API rate limits, varying response times, and protocol differences require comprehensive testing of fallback mechanisms and timeout handling.

“Gatling has been a game-changer for our performance testing. The ability to simulate real-world loads and automatically test our platform’s response to high traffic has ensured that we maintain top performance, even as our business grows.”
Pierre Pommerel,
Solution Architect
“Gatling has become an integral part of our CI/CD pipeline. We run daily load tests, ensuring every change is stress-tested before it reaches production.”
Thomas Onken,
Software Developer
“We can track our performance over time and allow our development teams to automate the scenarios and runs. Gatling enabled us to automate the performance impact assessment of new feature delivery continuously and before releases.”
Simon Vos,
Technology Director
“In order to make sure interdiscount.ch was ready for Black Friday, we opted for Gatling Enterprise as our performance testing solution. The live dashboards are a real benefit as they let us see exactly when the website is slowing down during a performance test.”
