BlueBolts: BigBlueButton Load Testing
Load and Stress Testing for BigBlueButton
Know Your Limits Before Your Users Find Them
BlueBolts is RIADVICE’s load and stress testing service for BigBlueButton. It fills your platform with fleets of real Chrome browsers, and each one joins a meeting the way a person does: speaking on the microphone, sharing a webcam, listening along and even chatting. Because every bot takes the same path as a real attendee, the results describe what your students will actually experience, not what a synthetic benchmark hopes they will.
Realistic Load, Composed to Order
Real usage is never uniform, so the load is not either. A test campaign composes bot populations per meeting: one speaker with twenty listeners, a webinar with a single webcam presenter and a silent audience, or dozens of mixed classrooms running side by side under their own room names. Screen resolution, video frame rate and chat activity are all tunable, and test profiles are matched to the BigBlueButton version you run, so the scenario on the test bench is the scenario you expect on the first day of term.
Talk to the engineers behind BlueBolts: BigBlueButton Load Testing
A first conversation is free. Tell us what you run and what you need, and we will say plainly whether we are the right team.
Delivered as a Service
BlueBolts is sold as a service, not as software. We agree the scenarios with you, run the bot fleets from our own machines against your servers, and watch every run live: sessions can be followed on screen and recorded on video for review. You receive a report measured on your own infrastructure: how many meetings and users each server sustains, where it reaches its limits first, and what that means for the capacity you can safely promise.
From the Team That Runs BigBlueButton at Scale
The same engineers who operate RIADVICE's premium BigBlueButton hosting and build ZcaleRight, our load balancer, run your tests, so findings arrive with recommendations attached, not just charts. Validating a new cluster before launch, sizing an upgrade, or proving capacity ahead of an enrolment peak: BlueBolts replaces guesswork with numbers your infrastructure has already demonstrated.
