Sprinboot api application performance test

Question

I want to test the performance of my backend REST API application written with Spring Boot under high requests.

How can I perform this process?
Which tools should I use and what should I do step by step?
What are the best practices for performance tests and how should I analyse the results?

Answer 1

For testing REST API I will suggest starting with JMeter.

It will be the fastest way of checking performance.
