Building Web applications is now a common scenario for developers building new applications or updating and Web-enabling existing applications. As applications move to the Web into a server-based environment, it becomes increasingly important to be able to gauge the performance and load capability of an application. Developers must be able to answer hard questions about how much traffic a given site will be able to handle and make intelligent choices of hardware, software, and often times even design approach of the application to make sure the application will be able to handle many customers on their website.
