Case Study: Piksel achieves continuous performance testing and release confidence with BlazeMeter

How Piksel Uses BlazeMeter for Continuous Performance Testing and Analysis

Piksel is a video‑solutions provider for broadcast media—delivering over 3 billion on‑demand streams a year, storing 24 billion objects, and managing 50,000+ live broadcasts annually. Its six R&D teams follow a shift‑left QA approach, and faced two core challenges: ensuring every new release works in production (functions, response times, and customer‑facing areas) and keeping the environment stable under sustained, high‑load conditions across multiple services.

Piksel adopted BlazeMeter to run automated Gatling performance tests on every Git push and nightly for larger stability checks, with pass/fail gates in CI, parallel benchmarking runs, Slack alerts, and shareable dashboards. The result is continuous performance visibility, faster root‑cause fixes, greater developer ownership of test code and system behavior, and a repeatable approach being scaled across teams toward full CI/CD integration.
