Load Testing S3: How to Ensure the Reliability of Your Object Storage
-
20 min
Modern systems increasingly rely on S3-compatible storage to keep data — from backups to mission-critical user files. As a result, their performance and stability become key factors for service reliability and application speed.
In this talk, I will share my experience with load testing such storage systems. I will cover which tools can be used for load testing, which metrics to focus on first depending on your storage requirements, and how to integrate load tests into the development pipeline to detect issues early and maintain stability.
This talk will be useful for anyone who wants to better understand how object storage works and how to verify its reliability. Everything will be explained with clear, practical examples, without unnecessary theory.
