Simulate a production-like load

With your schema defined you can begin to simulate a production-like load that writes data to your InfluxDB cluster. This process helps to ensure that your schema works as designed and that both your cluster’s scale and configuration are able to meet your cluster’s write requirements.

We do not recommend writing production data to your InfluxDB cluster at this point.

Load testing tools

Contact your InfluxData sales representative for information about load testing tools. These tools can simulate your schema and desired write concurrency to ensure your cluster performs under production-like load.

Use your own tools

You can also build and use your own tools to load test a production-like workload. Use Telegraf, client libraries, or the InfluxDB API to build out tests that simulate writes to your cluster.
