In this blog post we'll look at Artillery's hybrid workload model, whether it suffers from coordinated omission (**tldr: it doesn't**), and why neither closed nor open models are very suitable for testing most real-world systems
At Artillery we believe that you should load test in production. It's not rocket science, its dangers can be mitigated, and the benefits are worth a bit of extra work
We designed Artillery to be easy to extend and customize through a variety of extension APIs. Artillery comes with batteries included and many out-of-the-box integrations, but every non-trivial load testing project will require at least some customization at some point.
