Performance Testing Using Jmeter

All of the Microservices were subjected to Apache Jmeter-based performance testing.
The Jmeter tool facilitates the execution of the tests with various loads.
Load tests are used to determine the maximum amount of requests that each service can handle, as well as the bottlenecks that cause performance to deteriorate.
The load testing is carried out by simulating real-world user scenarios.
