A modern Performance testing tools designed to work with Observability solutions

|k6
K6 provides all the components that we need to build relevant tests: - recorder to easily build k6 scripts - an efficient scripting library helping us to make our script robust and even create custom metrics out of our scripts. The biggest advantage of K6 is the large number of output plugins...I can run tests, and send the testing data to Prometheus, InfluxDB, Dynatrace ...And more. I'm a big fan of one of their extension: x6-distributed traces. it's so powerful to have an OpenTelemtry trace for each of the virtual users.

Developer-Friendly Performance Testing Tool & Infrastructure

|k6
-Excellent documentation and supportive blogs (and video content like the Office Hours series) content simplifies getting started with k6 -Developer-friendly -- Easy to install and get going in the CLI. Makes performance testing more accessible to not just a few, but all of those on an engineering team. This is so important as performance testing is no longer just an expectation of a single niche quality team because of limitations of licensing or knowledge of an antiquated tool. -k6 cloud -- So far, ensuring the ability to scale our tests beyond the resource of our machines has been reassuring. The analyses and comparison features between test executions is helpful so far. Looking forward to the continued work against this infrastructure platform.

K6-Game changer for API Load and Performance test

|k6
It is developer friendly and easy to write load tests and has excellent documentation. Most importantly it is a straightforward K6 report that can tell where the performance issues are. We did a thorough analysis where we compared several tools/frameworks and we can tell with full confidence that K6 is much superior compared to other tools. These are some of the benefits: It is easy to install and start writing the first L&P test, code review It is great community support and excellent documentation Excellent Report and Integrates with NewRelic, CloudWatch if we decide to retire later it is easy to do because we can still run locally without being locked to one tool. I would call the K6 a modern L&P framework that can beneficial for any company.
