# Test Load

> Performance under load.

## When To Use

- Scale testing
- Capacity planning
- SLA validation

## Metrics

| Metric | Target |
|--------|--------|
| Response time | < 200ms |
| Throughput | > 1000 rps |
| Error rate | < 1% |

## Load Test

```yaml
scenarios:
  - name: users
    users: 1000
    ramp: 60s
    duration: 300s
```
