The prompt

Help me plan and script a load test before an expected traffic spike. What to test: [website / API / checkout flow], main endpoints: [list] Expected traffic: [e.g. a Diwali sale, a launch, an exam result day]: peak users or requests per minute if known, or my best guess Infrastructure: [hosting, server size, database, CDN, caching] Tool: [k6 / Locust / JMeter / whatever you recommend] Where I'll run it: [staging copy / production at a quiet hour] Give me: 1. A test plan: smoke test, ramp-up, steady load at expected peak, a spike test at 2-3 times peak, and a soak test, with durations. 2. A script for the tool covering a realistic user journey with think time, using test accounts and test data only. 3. What to watch during the test: response times (p50, p95, p99), error rate, CPU, memory, database connections, queue length. 4. Pass and fail thresholds to agree before running. 5. The likely bottlenecks for my setup and the first fix to try for each. Rules: never point load at third-party services or payment gateways; get permission before testing production; start small.
