I’ve got another Scaling Rails screencast out today, this one the first of two episodes on learning about Load Testing.

Summary

In this first Load Testing Screencast we learn what exactly load testing is, why it’s useful, and learn how to properly use Apache Bench and httperf. These tools are very useful to gauge how your application handles under a heavy load.

Don’t forget to subscribe to the screencast RSS feed or grab it on ITunes to avoid missing any of these episodes. FYI, These videos look great on an iPhone / iPod if you want something to watch on the go.
