When K8S Meets K6: A Testing Story

Almudena Vivanco

11:00 - 11:45, Tuesday 11th November CET

In 2019, the Lidl Plus app was born and cloud native hosted in webapps in Azure Cloud. In our process to maturity, we wanted to remove the vendor lock and we started to migrate to Kubernetes in 2022.

In this process, we modernized our performance testing environment as well, from master slave old friend JMeter to a K6 Kubernetes cluster using the K6 operator.

In this talk, we will be explaining how we are creating our K6 projects. How we organize and manage our projects creating a schema as a backstage project, so all the squad product teams can easily setup a new performance project.

Learn how we scaled our performance testing suite and our performance injecting system.

See how we created K6 extensions for the use case where there wasn’t an existing extension such as AzureServicebus.

Attendees will learn how to implement a project separated in a workload – user behaviour – scenarios, so the performance testing team can scale, and the code is easily maintained for the entire dev team.

You will also see how to use the performance testing in a CI/CD such as Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, integrated with a monitoring tool such as Grafana.
