Performance testing is the practice that helps us verify the reliability and performance of our applications and infrastructure.

Reliability has become paramount and is now a shared responsibility across all teams, especially when managing large applications and distributed systems. Thus, performance testing has shifted left, bringing it closer to Software and Site Reliability Engineers.

Grafana k6, an open-source performance testing tool designed for engineering teams, stands out for its flexibility and developer experience (DX). This interactive workshop provides participants with hands-on experience in writing k6 performance tests, giving an overview of performance testing practices and various options for using k6 through practical examples with a demo app.

* Participants are required to have installed Git, Docker, and Docker Compose.
