The Limited Availability phase is almost over, and Production Readiness Review is behind the corner. And then, the question arises: How many users can our application handle? You take a look into your specially crafted SLO documentation, review user scenarios and say: “We are not sure, but it will be with a latency of p95 at 200ms!” You observe the incomprehensive faces of project managers and decide that you’d rather spend some time with benchmarks.
But what to choose from so many great tools? Let me introduce you to the tool we picked and show you how you can use it in your favour.
K6 allows you to implement every user scenario in your SLA and discover possible issues you might have in the future. Join me at my talk, and you will find out how we use K6 to ensure that our backend is safe once a campaign is launched.
Ackee uses the K6 open-source version, so you can easily apply every tool or method presented during the talk.
