## What it is
Artillery Cloud runs Artillery scenarios on managed infrastructure and centralizes test results. It is designed for repeatable performance checks in development and CI pipelines.

## Choose it when
- Teams that want managed load generation without operating injectors
- Organizations budgeting for commercial licenses or subscriptions
- Groups comfortable scripting in JavaScript, TypeScript

## Look elsewhere when
- Strictly air-gapped environments with no approved cloud path
- Projects that require a fully free open-source stack only

## Architecture
Artillery Cloud runs as a cloud service: scenarios use JavaScript, TypeScript, while generators and orchestration are vendor-managed.

## Pricing
Artillery Cloud offers a free tier for hobby and proof-of-concept projects. Paid plans include a Team plan at $199/month and a Business/Scale plan at $499/month. Enterprise add-ons start at $1,199/month. Subscriptions are available via the Artillery website or AWS Marketplace. Annual billing options are available for a 20% discount.

## FAQ
### Who is Artillery Cloud for?
Artillery Cloud is best for teams that want managed load generation without operating generators themselves. It is commercial software, typically licensed for larger or governed programs. Vendor: Artillery Software. Deployment model: cloud. Commercial plans; contact vendor. Confirm details against the official site and a short proof-of-concept in your environment.

### How does Artillery Cloud differ from Apica?
Compared with Apica, scripting centers on JavaScript, TypeScript rather than JavaScript. Artillery Cloud lists protocols HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket; Apica lists HTTP, HTTPS, REST. Status is active versus active. Use the Test Rig to compare full specs side by side before a proof-of-concept.

### What scripting language and concurrency model does Artillery Cloud use?
Artillery Cloud uses JavaScript, TypeScript for scripting or scenario definition. Runtime model: code-first scenarios where virtual users execute scripted behavior under load. OS support: Browser. Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket. Match these to how your team already authors tests and which systems you must drive under load.

### What is the cloud or enterprise path for Artillery Cloud?
Artillery Cloud is cloud-hosted: you run tests on vendor-managed infrastructure without operating load generators yourself. That usually speeds ramp-up for distributed load while shifting capacity planning and data residency to the vendor. Pricing model: Commercial plans; contact vendor. Confirm details against the official site and a short proof-of-concept in your environment.

### What are known limitations of Artillery Cloud?
Artillery Cloud limitations to weigh: cloud services trade operational simplicity for vendor pricing, data residency, and network path differences versus your production topology; commercial licensing and quotes can gate large-scale or enterprise use. Status: active. Always validate against your target protocols and scale with a proof-of-concept.
