Is there a way to check my web application to see if it can handle thousands of hits from many geographic regions?

Question

I have a web application and I want to see how much traffic it can do without a glitch.

Is there any service or product that will grow on my website with thousands or tens of thousands of hits over a long period from different geographical regions?

Answer 1

One of the options I read is to use Amazons EC2 to generate traffic, which means that you can rent a large number of cars from several different geographical regions for relatively little money. Then you can run the existing load testing tools, as other answers are mentioned or written on their own if you have special requirements.

Answer 2

JMeter is a popular load testing tool

Answer 3

I read about The Grinder , but never used it.
