/plugin install load-balancer-tester@claude-code-plugins-plus

Run these inside Claude Code. The skill comes with its plugin.

What this skill does

This skill enables Claude to test load balancing strategies. It validates traffic distribution across backend servers, tests failover scenarios when servers become unavailable, verifies sticky sessions, and assesses health check functionality. Use this skill when the user asks to "test load balancer", "validate traffic distribution", "test failover", "verify sticky sessions", or "test health checks". It is specifically designed for testing load balancing configurations using the `load-balancer-tester` plugin.

Trigger phrases

Claude loads this skill automatically when you say things like:

“test load balancer”“validate traffic distribution”“test failover”“verify sticky sessions”“test health checks”

How it works

  1. Executing the Test Suite: Claude uses the `load-balancer-tester` plugin to run a series of tests, including traffic distribution validation, failover testing, sticky session verification, and health check testing.
  2. Presenting the Results: Claude provides a summary of the test results, highlighting any issues or areas for improvement.

When to use it

  • Validate traffic distribution across backend servers.
  • Test the load balancer's ability to handle server failures.
  • Verify that sticky sessions are functioning correctly.
  • Ensure that health checks are effectively removing unhealthy servers from the pool.

Best practices

  • Realistic Scenarios: Test with realistic traffic patterns and failure scenarios.
  • Comprehensive Testing: Test all aspects of the load balancer, including traffic distribution, failover, sticky sessions, and health checks.
