We're opening up access to VoltTest Cloud — the managed platform for running large-scale load tests without provisioning a single server. Until now, cloud mode has been limited to a small group of early testers. Starting today, anyone can join the waitlist, and we're approving access in waves.

This post covers what VoltTest Cloud is, what you get in the closed beta, and exactly how the access process works from waitlist to your first cloud test run.

TL;DR

VoltTest Cloud runs your PHP load tests on managed infrastructure — scale from hundreds to millions of concurrent users across regions without managing servers. The closed beta is now accepting waitlist signups.

With VoltTest 1.2.0, you can now run load tests directly inside PHPUnit — no external scripts or configuration required.

VoltTest was built to make load testing simple and native for PHP developers, and this new release takes it one step further. You can now test your Laravel APIs under load using the same PHPUnit environment you already use for your feature and unit tests.

TL;DR

VoltTest 1.2.0 lets you run load tests directly inside PHPUnit — same test runner, same CI pipeline, with assertions for success rate, P95 latency, and error rate to catch performance regressions automatically.

Effortless Laravel Performance Testing with VoltTest PHP SDK

When your Laravel app hits real traffic, will it fly… or will it fall over?

Most load-testing tools make you jump through hoops — learn a new scripting language, spin up external services, or fight with configs that feel like they belong to another ecosystem.

That’s why I built the Laravel Performance Testing package:
a native, PHP-first way to run load and stress tests right inside your Laravel project — powered by the VoltTest PHP SDK.

You write your tests in plain PHP, keep them version-controlled with your codebase, and run them with a single Artisan command. No context-switching. No external scripts. Just Laravel, PHP, and the performance insights you need before your users find the bottlenecks.

TL;DR

The VoltTest Laravel package lets you write and run load tests inside your Laravel project with Artisan commands, route-based test generation, and CSV data sources — no external tools or languages needed.

In this tutorial, we will explore how to perform stress testing on a Laravel application using the VoltTest PHP SDK. You will learn how to:

  • Simulate multiple users interacting with your Laravel application.
  • Test user registration and authentication workflows.
  • Measure application performance under load.
  • Extract dynamic values like CSRF tokens during test execution.
  • Use a CSV file as a data source for testing.
  • Analyze and optimize performance bottlenecks.

By the end of this guide, you will be able to confidently run automated performance tests to ensure your Laravel app is scalable and resilient.

TL;DR

This tutorial shows how to stress test a Laravel web application with VoltTest — simulating user registration, CSRF token extraction, and dashboard access under concurrent load using CSV-driven test data.
