I’ve heard there’s some cool tool called k78 or something that does performance testing @grot. Tell me more.
Hi @mdavidallen,
It seems like there might be a bit of confusion here. The tool you're referring to is likely k6, not k78. k6 is a popular open-source load testing tool designed for developers, and it's part of the Grafana ecosystem. Here's a quick overview of what k6 offers:
-
Open Source and Developer-Friendly: k6 is written in Go and allows you to write tests in JavaScript, making it accessible for developers familiar with these languages.
-
Performance Testing: It's designed to help you test the performance of your applications by simulating traffic and load, allowing you to identify bottlenecks and performance issues.
-
Integration with Grafana: k6 can be integrated with Grafana Cloud, providing a unified platform to visualize and analyze your test results alongside other system metrics.
-
Scalability and Automation: Grafana Cloud k6 offers a scalable solution for running distributed load tests and automating performance testing as part of your CI/CD pipeline.
-
Collaboration and Insights: The platform supports collaboration features and provides rich insights through dashboards, helping teams work together to improve application reliability.
If you have any specific questions about k6 or need further details, feel free to ask!
