Load Testing · Senior · Question 75 of 76
Why prefer measuring at the edge (user side) for a release gate on latency?
- 1It includes every hop users actually wait for
- 2Server-side metrics are always wrong under load
- 3It excludes the network, so it's more stable
Show the answer
Correct answer: It includes every hop users actually wait for
Explanation
Server metrics miss proxy queues and network. Use client-side or edge measurements for user-facing SLOs, and server metrics to find causes.
