**1. introduction to load testing and locust**

load testing is a type of performance testing that evaluates the ability of a software system to handle a specified load. it simulates concurrent users performing various actions to identify performance bottlenecks, stability issues, and potential points of failure. it answers the question: "can my system handle the expected amount of traffic?"

locust is an open-source load testing tool written in python. it allows you to define user behaviors in python code, making it highly flexible and extensible. instead of ...
