SAP Load Testing: a serverless approach with AWS

This comprehensive blog post explores a serverless approach to SAP load testing using AWS services, addressing traditional performance testing challenges with a modern, cost-effective solution.

• Load testing is critical for ensuring SAP system performance and reliability during major changes like system upgrades or migrations
• The proposed solution uses serverless AWS services like Lambda, Step Functions, and CloudWatch to create a scalable testing framework
• Testing scenarios cover multiple areas including:
  • HANA database load testing
  • IDoc and Fiori application testing
  • Infrastructure testing (compute, storage, networking)
• Monitoring options include CloudWatch dashboards and Amazon Managed Grafana for comprehensive performance insights
• The entire solution can be implemented for approximately $16.77 per month, leveraging AWS free tier services

The approach provides a flexible, cost-effective method for organizations to conduct thorough SAP system performance testing without significant infrastructure investment.
