Load Test PostgreSQL Instantly using Production Recordings

Oct 5, 2026 By Matt LeRay In Speedscale
The first PostgreSQL post ran on a laptop: a demo app, a Docker container, and the proxymock CLI. That is the fastest way to see the idea. It is also not where your database problems live. Your real query mix lives in the cluster, where a Java service with a connection pool, an ORM and a schema migration tool sends the statements nobody wrote by hand. This post deploys an open source banking app to Kubernetes and records the queries one of its services sends to PostgreSQL.

Wherever your config lives: Repo-stored and modular bitrise.yml

Oct 5, 2026 By Kaushal Vyas In Bitrise
Most CI tooling makes you pick a side. Visual editing or code. Git as your source of truth or a decent place to edit. A config small enough for one file, or a modular structure your tooling flattens the moment you touch it. The Bitrise Workflow Editor does not ask you to choose. It meets your config where it lives. One file or forty, stored on Bitrise or in your repo. This post covers both, in that order.

Test Your MySQL 8.4 Upgrade With Real App Queries

Sep 25, 2026 By Matt LeRay In Speedscale
Before you start, paste this into Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Gemini CLI, Kiro, or any assistant that can read a URL and run commands: The install-speedscale skill installs proxymock for your operating system and walks you through proxymock init. It stops when you need to complete browser sign-in, keeps your recordings on your machine, and connects the proxymock MCP server so your assistant can run the prompts later in this article.

Test PostgreSQL With the Queries Your App Actually Runs

Sep 24, 2026 By Matt LeRay In Speedscale
The first number from my local PostgreSQL 16 test was roughly 1,600 statements per second. It looked impressive. It was also the least useful result in the run. The useful part was the workload. It came from queries the demo app had actually sent: the same prepared statements, parameters, reads and writes. A synthetic benchmark tells you how PostgreSQL handles a synthetic workload. It does not tell you whether your migration just broke the UPDATE your app depends on.

$4.48 a Gallon: Your Holiday Checkout Is the New Mall

Sep 24, 2026 By Alan Mon In Speedscale
Remember when “going shopping” meant getting in the car? This fall, filling the tank feels like applying for a small loan. U.S. regular gasoline averaged about $4.48 a gallon for the week of September 21, 2026. A round trip to the store starts competing with free shipping. And free shipping never needs a parking spot. That doesn’t tell us how many shoppers will move online this holiday season.

Imaginary Test Data. Real Token Bill.

Sep 22, 2026 By Alan Mon In Speedscale
Ask an AI for K-pop concert advice without saying the group, city, date, or budget. It may confidently send you to a BLACKPINK tribute night in Cleveland with a $400 resale ticket. The AI was plenty confident. It just had nothing real to go on. That is exactly what happens when developers test AI applications with invented traffic. The test may look reasonable. The result may even pass. But when real users arrive, with messy histories, incomplete inputs, odd request sequences, and unpredictable timing, the application has to improvise. And improvising is expensive.
