Load Testing with k6

Measure how a system behaves under pressure instead of assuming today’s speed scales tomorrow.

Big Picture

One small picture can make this idea easier to hold.

Single-user checks

• Helpful for correctness, but they do not show how the system behaves under pressure.

Load-focused checks

• You learn how response time, error rate, and saturation change as demand rises.

VerdictMeasure how a system behaves under pressure instead of assuming today’s speed scales tomorrow.
