Server Testing

We have to simulate GPS devices to load test our server.

There are 2 ways to do it:

Short Term: Use an online service (start quickly for free but costly for heavier loads)

1. http://go.blazemeter.com/startups/
2. http://loadimpact.com/pricing
3. https://www.blitz.io/pricing#/subscriptions

Medium Term: Install one of these on our own server and bandwidth (time to start but cheaper later on)
