Simulate a production-like load
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.
We do not recommend writing production data to your InfluxDB cluster at this point.
Load testing tools
Contact your InfluxData sales representative for information about tools that you can use to load test your InfluxDB cluster. There are tools available that can simulate your schema and desired write concurrency to ensure your cluster performs under production-like load.
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.
