Case Study: Cimpress reduces load testing time by 80% with Speedscale

Cimpress reduces load testing time by 80% with Speedscale

Cimpress, a global eCommerce company, faced a challenge in ensuring the fidelity of its product data API after inheriting legacy software. The company needed a reliable way to test that new software worked identically to the old system to prevent downstream impacts on product design and fulfillment. Principal Software Engineer Jeff Kwan sought a complete API testing solution after open-source tools proved insufficient, ultimately finding Speedscale.

Speedscale provided a solution for regression testing, load testing, and API observability by capturing and replaying real customer traffic. Using Speedscale, Cimpress reduced its load testing time for a service from 3-4 days to just 40 minutes, an 80% reduction. This allowed the team to cut a typical 4-week testing process down to 3-4 days, improving deployment confidence and providing clear insight into system breakpoints.
