    ## Why Load Test?

    Node.js is purdy fast, but if you are not careful in the way you invoke backend services like CouchDB or MongoDB, you can easily cause pipeline stall making your app not scale to a large number of users. Load testing shows you what kind of concurrency you can achieve with your app and how it's actually scaling out.
    Node.js is purdy fast, but if you are not careful in the way you invoke backend services like CouchDB or MongoDB, you can easily cause pipeline stall making your app not scale to a large number of users. Typically you will end up with each concurrent request taking longer and longer resulting in timeouts and fail whales. Load testing shows you what kind of concurrency you can achieve with your app and how it's actually scaling out.

    ## Command-Line Testing

    For those developers that don't like UI and prefer command line, here's the simplest way to run iterative load tests right after you `git push` your changes to the app:

    $ gem install blitz
    $ blitz api:init
    $ blitz curl --pattern 1-250:60 --region virginia http://my.cool.app
