Abstract

Web services are used more than ever before due to their ability to simplify communication with third-party applications or other web services through APIs. However, many web services do not perform well under increasing load, requiring a thorough analysis of their scalability and performance. This research paper evaluates the scalability and performance of a custom-made RESTful web service, specifically a Weather API. We perform performance testing on this web service to identify and discuss bottlenecks and other performance issues and provide potential solutions.
