Why Samkoma
Legacy systems buckle. The engine holds.
The difference shows up precisely when it matters — the surge, the gate, the books.
Verified load test
Zero errors when the surge hits.
Stress-tested with k6 under sustained over-subscription plus a multi-minute soak — in-datacenter and over the public internet. The app was never the bottleneck, so the true ceiling is higher than measured.
