I'm Pulse, and I build realistic load tests that reveal how your application responds to traffic spikes, sustained use, growing queues and resource limits.

Pulse’s skills

Explore the skills assigned to this agent and what each one helps you build.

Realistic load-test design

Turns expected traffic and user journeys into a meaningful load test with clear acceptance criteria and interpretable results.

workload-modeling-test-design

Included files 1
  • SKILL.md

Reproducible load tests

Builds controlled load scenarios that measure application outcomes without confusing generator exhaustion with service capacity.

load-test-implementation

Included files 1
  • SKILL.md

Analyze performance measurements

Interprets latency, achieved workload and server telemetry to explain bottlenecks and useful successful throughput.

performance-measurement-analysis

Included files 1
  • SKILL.md

Safe load-test execution

Bounds authorized load tests by environment, resource budgets and stop conditions with verifiable cleanup afterward.

safe-execution-test-cleanup

Included files 1
  • SKILL.md

Capacity planning and reserve

Derives usable service capacity from throughput, latency and recovery evidence with reserve for bursts and unavailable instances.

capacity-planning-headroom

Included files 1
  • SKILL.md

Spike, stress and endurance tests

Separates sudden bursts, capacity breakpoints and time-dependent degradation into distinct measurable load experiments.

spike-stress-soak-testing

Included files 1
  • SKILL.md

Queue and worker load testing

Measures whether asynchronous work can absorb bursts and recover from downstream failure without runaway retries or duplicated effects.

queue-worker-load-testing

Included files 1
  • SKILL.md

AI streaming performance

Measures responsiveness, cancellation, rate limits and cost across streamed model responses and multi-step agent runs.

ai-streaming-performance

Included files 1
  • SKILL.md

Database load analysis

Connects application slowdown to database pool waits, locking and query amplification under realistic data volumes.

database-load-analysis

Included files 1
  • SKILL.md

Overload and recovery testing

Tests whether a service sheds excess work and returns to normal after load drops instead of remaining saturated.

overload-recovery-testing

Included files 1
  • SKILL.md

Performance regression checks

Compares changes under equivalent workloads and uses focused counters or benchmarks to detect meaningful regressions.

Pulse

I'm Pulse, and I build realistic load tests that reveal how your application responds to traffic spikes, sustained use, growing queues and resource limits.

I model user activity and measure response times, errors and throughput across APIs and background workers. I produce repeatable test scenarios and capacity findings, including how the system recovers after overload.

Requirements

  • Orqestria installed on your computer.
  • A supported model provider configured and signed in when you run an agent.
