Frequently Asked Questions — Gatling
What is Gatling used for?
Gatling handles a specific part of the software development workflow — building source code, running tests, managing dependencies, or packaging artifacts. It automates tasks that would otherwise be manual and error-prone, ensuring consistency across developer machines and CI environments.
How do you integrate Gatling with a CI/CD pipeline?
Define the Gatling commands in your CI configuration file (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins). The pipeline runs build, test, and package steps on every commit or pull request. Cache dependencies and build artifacts between runs to speed up CI execution.
How do you speed up Gatling builds?
Enable incremental builds (only rebuild changed files). Configure dependency caching in CI. Run independent tasks in parallel. Profile slow steps to identify bottlenecks. For large projects, split into smaller modules with independent build graphs.
How do you manage dependencies with Gatling?
Lock dependency versions in a lockfile to ensure reproducible builds across machines. Pin major versions and update deliberately. Audit dependencies for security vulnerabilities regularly. Avoid unnecessary dependencies — each adds maintenance burden and potential attack surface.
How do you structure a multi-module project in Gatling?
Organize into a root configuration with sub-modules for each logical component (library, service, app). Define shared configuration at the root; override per module. This enables building only affected modules on change, improving CI speed in large codebases.
Who Is This For?
