As a deployer/Maintainer, load test the reference backend APIs, fine-tune code and config, and publish the recommendations to scale.

• Identify performance testing tools (example: https://www.artillery.io/, https://github.com/artilleryio/artillery )
• Identify and configure Load Test scenarios
• Configure app metrics tools for monitoring ( example: https://www.npmjs.com/package/appmetrics-dash)
• Perform Load test with configured scenarios
• Finetune the code and configurations if any bottlenecks and rerun load tests
• Document configuration recommendations to scale the backend APIs.
