Case Study: Sonepar achieves scalable e-commerce performance with Gatling Enterprise

How Sonepar ensured optimal e-commerce platform performance

Sonepar, a global leader in the B2B distribution of electrical products, faced challenges ensuring the performance and scalability of its complex e-commerce platform. Their previous tools were insufficient for validating the system under the high traffic loads from its professional users, particularly during critical processes like product searches and checkout.

By implementing Gatling Enterprise, Sonepar was able to simulate up to 720 concurrent users to identify bottlenecks in its microservices and APIs. This solution from Gatling enabled the company to dramatically reduce performance issues in production, improve deployment confidence, and enhance frontend performance for better SEO. The scalable SaaS platform ensured Sonepar's site could handle peak traffic periods efficiently.
