Overview of this book

Angular 6 for Enterprise-Ready Web Applications follows a hands-on and minimalist approach demonstrating how to design and architect high quality apps. The first part of the book is about mastering the Angular platform using foundational technologies. You will use the Kanban method to focus on value delivery, communicate design ideas with mock-up tools and build great looking apps with Angular Material. You will become comfortable using CLI tools, understand reactive programming with RxJS, and deploy to the cloud using Docker. The second part of the book will introduce you to the router-first architecture, a seven-step approach to designing and developing mid-to-large line-of-business applications, along with popular recipes. You will learn how to design a solid authentication and authorization experience; explore unit testing, early integration with backend APIs using Swagger and continuous integration using CircleCI. In the concluding chapters, you will provision a highly available cloud infrastructure on AWS and then use Google Analytics to capture user behavior. By the end of this book, you will be familiar with the scope of web development using Angular, Swagger, and Docker, learning patterns and practices to be successful as an individual developer on the web or as a team in the Enterprise.

Advanced load testing

In order to be able to predict capacity, we need to run load tests. In Chapter 11, Highly-Available Cloud Infrastructure on AWS, I discussed a simple load testing technique of just sending a bunch of web requests to a server. In a relative comparison scenario, this works fine to test raw power. However, actual users generate dozens of requests at varying intervals, while they navigate your website resulting in a wide-variety of API calls to your backend server.

We must be able to model virtual users and unleash a whole bunch of them on our servers to find the breaking point of our server. OctoPerf is an easy-to-use service to execute such load tests, and it's located at https://octoperf.com. OctoPerf offers a free-tier that allows for 50 concurrent users/test over unlimited test runs with two load generators:
