In high‑stakes domains like social media, ticketing or fintech, performance failures can cost millions. Yet many teams rely on ad‑hoc, brittle tests or, worse, hopes and prayers.
Gatling is a simple framework that lets you model realistic traffic and run production‑like tests with minimal overhead.
This talk will equip you with a production‑ready performance testing workflow:
Integrate Gatling into your CI pipeline with minimal effort.
– Write maintainable test code that stays simple.
– Model real‑world user journeys in your scenarios.
– Select metrics and thresholds that align with your business goals.
– Spot common pitfalls and how to sidestep them.
By the end, you’ll walk away with a clean, reusable test base and a concrete strategy to make performance testing a reliable, repeatable part of your delivery pipeline.
Born on 21 of June 2000 in Essen, Germany, I began self‑studying Java at age 13 to create video games. Since then I have pursued my passion as a professional software engineer: from a working‑student role and then entry-level job at adesso to my current position at iits‑consulting GmbH.

Personal Note
I’m always eager to explore new technologies—whether it’s software architecture, DevOps practices or programming languages. Outside of tech, I enjoy reading diverse literature (novels, psychology, economics) and spending time with my wife, dog, family, and friends.
