Load tests in the pipeline
Your performance runs execute as a governed step alongside build, test, and deploy.
Quality
Performance Testing
Gate releases on latency and throughput you actually measured
Run your load and performance tests as steps in the pipeline and gate releases on thresholds like latency and throughput. You bring the performance tool you already use; IntegraCI orchestrates the run and reads the results back into the release decision. This is an emerging capability under active development.
- Performance results become part of the release decision at the point the deploy is made, not a separate step discovered afterward.
- A latency or throughput regression stops at the gate instead of reaching production traffic.
- Every gate decision leaves a recorded trail of what was measured and what rule applied.
The problem
You run load tests, but they happen outside the pipeline and their results do not block a release. A threshold that should stop a deploy lives in a document no one consults at ship time, so a latency regression reaches production before anyone acts on it.
Without IntegraCI
- Performance tests run outside the pipeline, disconnected from the release
- Thresholds exist in documents and in people's heads
- A latency regression ships until production traffic exposes it
- Each team sets its own bar with no consistent enforcement
With IntegraCI
- Load tests run as a governed step alongside build and deploy
- Thresholds are defined as policy and checked at every release
- A failed threshold blocks the deploy with the reason recorded
- Performance evidence sits next to all other release signals
What you get
Threshold-based gates
Releases stop when latency, throughput, or error rate cross the limits you define.
Bring your own tool
IntegraCI orchestrates the performance tool you already run rather than asking you to switch.
Results in context
Performance evidence sits next to the rest of the release signals so you decide with full information.
How it works
- 1
Wire your tool
Connect the load and performance tool your teams use today.
- 2
Set thresholds
You define the latency and throughput limits a release must hold under.
- 3
Gate the release
The run executes as a step and its results pass or block the deploy.
How it stays governed
The same gates everyone passes, applied here.
Gated by policy
Thresholds for latency, throughput, and error rate are defined as policy as code. Every release evaluation checks the measured results against those rules before the deploy is allowed to proceed. A build that crosses a limit cannot ship until the policy is satisfied.
Recorded, tamper-evident
Each gate decision writes once to a tamper-evident audit trail, capturing the threshold values, the results the tool reported, and whether the release was allowed or blocked. You can show exactly what was measured and what rule applied at any point in time.
Works with your stack
Connect the tools you already run.
Your existing load and performance tool connects as an orchestrated pipeline step; results feed into the release gate alongside all other CI/CD signals.

Who it’s for
Where teams reach for it.
Catch latency regressions before they reach production
A team that ships to high-traffic services wires its load testing tool into the pipeline and sets a latency threshold. A build that breaches the limit stops at the gate instead of going live.
Enforce a consistent performance bar across services
When multiple teams own different services, each team sets thresholds suited to its own service level objectives. IntegraCI applies those rules at release time so performance expectations are checked the same way everywhere.
Build evidence for a high-stakes release
Before a major rollout, the team runs a defined load profile as a pipeline step and keeps the results next to the rest of the release signals. Reviewers see exactly what the system held under load before the deploy proceeds.
Questions, answered.
Does IntegraCI replace the load testing tool we already use?
No. IntegraCI orchestrates the tool your team already runs and reads its results into the release decision. You keep your existing tool and test scripts; IntegraCI adds the governance layer around them.
Which performance tools does it work with?
IntegraCI is built around the tools you bring rather than a fixed list. You connect the load and performance tool your teams use today, and IntegraCI runs it as a governed step and reads the results back into the gate.
What happens when a threshold is crossed?
The release is blocked at the gate. The reason is recorded in the audit trail so anyone reviewing the deploy history can see which threshold was crossed and what the tool measured.
Is this capability production-ready?
Performance testing is an emerging capability under active development. The core flow (connect your tool, set thresholds, gate the release) is in place and IntegraCI is extending it. If this is a near-term requirement, ask about the current state before committing.
