Load testing

[jaimeburnap]

We have a working implementation but we would like to load test what we wrote that sits in front of saml-jackson. We are running everything through API Gateway and Lambdas. It's our own api due to replacing Cognito, so all the calls aren't 1:1 with saml-jackson. The reason we starting trying to do this is because of a database lock issue with the health check.

I looked through the /npm/test folder but I'm not sure how to apply the tests through an api with out direct code access. Right now we have things hooked up to okta, but I can't figure out how to get all the way through the flow programmatically and I don't want to load test okta as well.

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated!

@jaimeburnap Could you elaborate a bit here ... The setup is not clear to me.
Are you using the npm module of Jackson and using it expose the SSO workflow ? Also why would you want to load test the SSO piece here (is it possible to mock/stub SSO here in some manner ) ?

Yes, we're using the npm module. The database is locking rows on the health check and we're trying to figure out if it's load related.

Trying to figure out how to mock things, but it's all so stateful it's proving difficult. Maybe I need to read up on the xml that's passed between okta and jackson so I can mock it. The request goes to okta and then some big strings come back, that's the part I'm not sure how to mock.

Here's the database error. We're using postgresql.
while updating tuple (0,11) in relation "jackson_store"
"errorType":"QueryFailedError","errorMessage":"canceling statement due to statement timeout","code":"57014","query":"UPDATE \"jackson_store\" SET \"modifiedAt\" = $1 WHERE \"key\" IN ($2)","parameters":["2023-01-23T21:43:35.975Z","_health:check:72a5eff5d0d7839c285da2b59cfa63ddcb8baa6b"]

@jaimeburnap Could you please outline the steps to reproducing the database error, we'd love to investigate on our side. One idea to load test would be to use our Mock SAML service - https://github.com/boxyhq/mock-saml
