// MISSION BRIEF
Your Mission
How you apply load shapes what you learn. Slam full load instantly and you learn nothing about where it degrades. This quiz covers ramp-up, spike and step patterns, why warm-up matters, and why recovery after a burst is its own test.

Battle teaser
Why ramp load up gradually instead of applying full load instantly (unless testing a spike)?
- AA gradual ramp shows WHERE performance degrades and lets caches, pools, and autoscaling warm up like real traffic
- BInstant load is impossible to generate
- CRamping makes the numbers look better
- DGradual ramps skip the database
Answers, scoring, hints, and the full battle stay sealed.
