test load support API GW fargate teask

Hi team,

I have an AWs architecture Like this :

API GW (http) => vpcLink => NLB => fargate ecs (with myApp, appmesh, envoy)

I want to do a stress test to debug the task stopped due to envoy out of memory

how can I do a stress test for this architecture (via the API GW or stress the CPU ..?) ?

Thank you.

Hello, I'd recommend using AWS Exec on your Fargate tasks to enable a CLI. Once on the task, you can stress test by installing the stress package like shown here: https://www.cyberciti.biz/faq/stress-test-linux-unix-server-with-stress-ng/

Hi,

You can enable ecs exec by following the steps metioned here https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonECS/latest/developerguide/ecs-exec.html . This will provide the exec capability for any container that is part of your task.

So you can exec into required container and run various stress command for load testing.
