=======

SEE for full write up

purpose

test out the best combination of API Gateway endpoint type + compression for use behind a CloudFront distribution

how to set up + deploy

• bootstrap cdk cdk bootstrap
• build C# code: dotnet build src
• deploy endpoints cdk deploy Endpoints
• deploy test lambdas to all commercial regions cdk deploy "loadtest-*" --require-approval never
• run tests bash ./loadtest.bash

notes

why js lambda

• too much pain to figure out c# dependencies

load test lambda

• take in url
• call get for 14mins
• post latency metrics for each call to cloudwatch
