In this episode, Joe sits down with Stéphane Landelle, creator of Gatling, and Shaun Brown to explore how Gatling is reinventing the load-testing experience.
You’ll hear how Gatling evolved from a developer-first framework into a far more accessible platform that supports Java, Kotlin, JavaScript/TypeScript, and AI-assisted creation. We break down the thinking behind Gatling Studio, a new companion tool designed to make recording, filtering, correlating, and debugging performance tests dramatically easier.
Whether you’re a developer, SDET, or automation engineer, you’ll learn:
How to onboard quickly into performance testing—even without deep expertise
Why Gatling Studio offers a smoother way to record traffic and craft tests
Where AI is already improving load test authoring
How teams can shift-left performance insights and catch issues earlier
What’s coming next as Gatling expands its developer experience and enterprise platform
If you’ve been meaning to start performance testing—or scale it beyond one performance engineer—this episode will give you the clarity and confidence to begin.
