testland/k6-load-testing

Authors k6 JavaScript load-test scripts (VU loops + checks + sleeps), configures the `options` block with `stages` (ramp-up patterns) and `thresholds` (p(95) latency, error rate), runs via `k6 run script.js` or `--vus / --duration` ad-hoc flags, and uses thresholds as the CI pass/fail signal. Use when the project ships HTTP / WebSocket / gRPC load tests and the team wants developer-friendly JavaScript authoring.

k6 CI integration

A GitHub Actions workflow that installs k6 from the official apt repository, runs the load test on pull requests that touch tests/load/** and on a nightly schedule, and uploads the JSON summary. A failing threshold causes k6 run to exit non-zero and fail the job; the summary artifact is uploaded regardless via if: always().

# .github/workflows/load-test.yml

Pin a specific k6 version in CI for determinism rather than tracking stable.
