Case Study: Interdiscount achieves stable Black Friday performance with Gatling Enterprise

How Interdiscount prepared Black Friday traffic using Gatling Enterprise

Interdiscount, a major omnichannel electronics retailer in Switzerland, faced significant challenges in managing the huge spikes of online traffic generated during peak shopping events like Black Friday and Cyber Monday. They needed a tool to prevent website crashes and performance issues by discovering their application’s limitations and ensuring stability. To address this, Interdiscount turned to vendor Gatling for a solution.

Interdiscount implemented Gatling Enterprise, integrating it with Jenkins to conduct load and performance tests. This allowed them to identify bottlenecks, perform soak and peak testing, and use the run history to compare performance after deploying changes. As a result of using Gatling Enterprise, Interdiscount has successfully managed traffic during peak seasons, experiencing no issues on Black Friday or Cyber Monday and maintaining a high level of service availability for their customers.
