load testing apple push notification server application

Question

I have developed a server application which can send push messages to apple servers. I've tested it with couple of devices and i'm able to get the messages on the device. The problem is , i have no way to know how my application will perform when i have around a million devices in my database. Is there a way to load test your server application in this scenario.

Answer 1

Couldn't you use test data? You could fill your database with a test script. Like random device-IDs..? The Apple APS of course won't accept the messages, but you could test your capacities, couldnt you?
