Destination reached!

Congratulations on completing this learning path! Job well done!

You’ve accomplished the following:

• Learned the difference between stress testing and breakpoint testing and when each technique is appropriate
• Designed a stress profile that extends baseline load using staged VU ramps (the path uses 2× and 3× multipliers as a teaching example)
• Ran a stress test and interpreted failure signals (or confirmed the system stayed healthy within your stress profile)
• Documented stress results, including a degradation threshold or a clean run at elevated load
• Built a breakpoint script using the ramping-arrival-rate executor with abortOnFail thresholds
• Found an approximate outer bound from the breakpoint run (load at test stop)
• Mapped your capacity envelope and applied the results to SLOs, autoscaling triggers, and emergency alerts
