Case Study: Tikamoon protects release quality and performance with Gatling

Tikamoon enforces no-release without Gatling with 2 pre-release load tests per week

Tikamoon, a French digital-native furniture retailer, relies entirely on its e-commerce platform for revenue, making website performance a critical business risk. Traffic peaks during sales events exposed the platform's hard limits, creating a challenge to guarantee it could sustain unexpected spikes and prevent performance regressions over time. To address this, Tikamoon adopted Gatling Enterprise Edition for load testing.

Using Gatling, Tikamoon implemented a disciplined testing process with two main scenarios: a pre-release test run before every deployment to validate performance linearity and an annual capacity test to find the system's breaking point. This solution provided operational confidence, blocking releases that introduced regressions and clearly identifying infrastructure limits. The result is a shared safety net that protects revenue and customer experience, with the team running two pre-release load tests per week as a non-negotiable rule.
