|
With your schema defined you can begin to simulate a production-like load that
|
|
writes data to your InfluxDB cluster. This process helps to ensure that your
|
|
schema works as designed and that both your cluster's scale and configuration
|
|
are able to meet your cluster's write requirements.
|
|
|
|
{{% warn %}}
|
|
We do not recommend writing production data to your InfluxDB cluster at this point.
|
|
{{% /warn %}}

## Load testing tools
|
|
|
|
Contact your [InfluxData sales representative](https://influxdata.com/contact-sales)
|
|
for information about load testing tools.
|
|
These tools can simulate your schema and
|
|
desired write concurrency to ensure your cluster performs under production-like load.
|
|
|
|
<!-- TO-DO: Would love to be able to list available tools here -->
|
|
|
|
## Use your own tools
|
|
|
|
You can also build and use your own tools to load test a production-like workload.
|
|
Use Telegraf, client libraries, or the InfluxDB API to build out tests that
|
|
simulate writes to your cluster.
