What is Loadster?

Loadster helps engineering and SRE teams protect uptime and customer experience without standing up their own testing infrastructure. The platform combines on-demand load testing with continuous synthetic monitoring, so teams validate capacity before launches and catch problems in production between them. Load tests run from cloud regions and simulate users at any scale — from a few hundred to many thousands of concurrent virtual users. HTTP, real browser, and Playwright-based bots cover the range from API throughput checks to full end-to-end user journeys. Reports break down response times, error rates, page rendering metrics, and per-user playback, then save into a shared history that stakeholders can review together. The same scripts can be repurposed as 24/7 monitors that run continuously from multiple regions. Incidents flow through configurable notification policies to email, SMS, voice, or integrations like Slack and PagerDuty, and maintenance windows pause monitoring during planned work. Status pages give external audiences a clear view of service health. Loadster is consumption-priced through Loadster Fuel, with free units to evaluate the platform and no credit card required to sign up. Engineering, QA, and SRE teams use it to validate releases, catch regressions before users do, and respond faster when something breaks.

What is Azure DevTest Labs?

Quickly set up development and testing environments with minimal effort. Implement policies and quotas that significantly cut down on resource wastage. Enable automated shutdown features to maintain low operational costs. Create environments compatible with both Windows and Linux operating systems. Provide self-service cloud options that help address users' concerns. Employ lab policies along with predefined limits to effectively manage expenses. In just a few clicks, you can configure your virtual machine with essential development tools and the latest build, while also allowing team members to share reusable templates. Generate environments directly from your continuous integration (CI) systems using our plugins, REST API, or Visual Studio Team Services extension. Set up lab policies that automatically oversee the start and shutdown of virtual machines. Implement restrictions on your lab, such as limiting the maximum number of virtual machines allowed per user and per lab. Track lab cost trends to help predict your spending and set budget limits. Make use of our REST API for the direct provisioning of development and testing environments within your continuous integration (CI) framework. Expedite deployments from your release pipeline through our Team Services task extension, creating a more efficient workflow for your development team. This streamlined approach not only boosts productivity but also fosters collaborative efficiency among various projects, ultimately leading to improved outcomes. Additionally, the flexibility of the setup allows teams to adapt quickly to changing development needs.
