Query regarding artillery pro "Scale" license

[JayasimhaNagaraj]

Hi Team,

Had a query regarding artillery pro "Scale" license.
Could you please help us understand on the below points :

1. Run up to 10 tests at the same time --> Is it like running multiple yaml files or running multiple tests from different users.

2. No limits on number of test runs, test minutes, virtual users, or virtual user concurrency. Up to 1,000 workers per test. --> What does worker denote in this ?

hi @JayasimhaNagaraj 👋

1. 10 tests at the same time - is 10 different instances of artillery running a test. So test 1 can be running against API no. 1, whilst test 2 (with a different YAML script) is running against API no. 2 etc. More parallel tests are often needed by larger teams working on many services, and running tests from their CICD pipelines.
2. When you run a test with Artillery Pro, you have the option to horizontally scale it out (which in effect multiplies the load level). Each worker is a load generating container on ECS/Fargate executing the test.

Hope that makes sense, let us know if you have any further questions!
