k6 OSS is a free and open-source solution for the modern development environment to get started with the load testing without leaving the IDE. You can write scripts in JS, and the execution engine in Go uses less memory footprint compared to other solutions in the industry. k6 documentation and the vibrant community helps to get started with k6 quickly. Numerous examples covering various scenarios are already present in the help. Using a little bit of knowledge on JS is sufficient to get started with k6 scripting.
