artillery VS kubernetes

Usually, I would let organic users be my load test. However, I am working on a project that has an anticipated load on a new-to-my-team stack, so I'm looking into ways to load test.

I've seen tools like k6 (https://k6.io/), Artillery (https://www.artillery.io), and JMeter (https://jmeter.apache.org/).

I've been using Artillery, but it's hard to visualize the results.

What do you use?

This week was Tracetest’s first-ever Launch Week. We’ve been working on a major integration with Artillery for the last month and our team is beyond excited to share it with you all!

I found a tool for load testing called Artillery. Following this guide I installed Artillery and began research for the test configuration.

This is a great blog post! just taking the opportunity here to comment on this:

> Finally for full scale high fidelity load tests there are relatively few tools out there for browser based load testing.

It exists as of a few months ago and it's fully open source: https://github.com/artilleryio/artillery (I'm the lead dev). You write a Playwright script, then run it in your own AWS account on serverless Fargate and scale it out horizontally as you see fit. Artillery takes care of spinning up and down all of the infra. It will also automatically grab and report Core Web Vitals for you from all those browser sessions, and we just released support for tracing so you can dig into the details of each session if you want to (OpenTelemetry based so works with most vendors- Datadago APM, New Relic etc)

So not to stress test Momento or AWS' Lambda, I wanted to build a small but stable 10-minute workload that hits the Momento Topic API and then let Momento trigger the FunctionURL to run the Lambda code. I wrote a small Artillery config file that ramps up to 20 users and then sustains that for the duration. Again, the script is simple to trigger the work.

Tool Spotlight: Featuring insights on how Artillery and Gitpod can enhance and streamline the benchmarking process.

curl is fantastic. There's also HTTPStat which provides a waterfall visualization on top of curl timings: https://github.com/reorx/httpstat

There's also Skytrace (made by yours truly), which provides timing info as a waterfall visualization inspired by HTTPStat + lots more (syntax highlighting for responses, built-in JMESPath support, command-line assertions and checks etc) - https://github.com/artilleryio/artillery/tree/main/packages/...

I know it's an annoying answer, but it depends on your application. The only true way to know is to test it using a load tester like artillery. Measuring performance is a fundamental part of any optimisation (otherwise how do you know?), so it's a great idea to be using tools like this anyway.

For this test I have used artillery.io with the following configuration:

In the field of software development, efficiency and agility are always sought after. In the era of cloud-native apps, traditional deployment techniques—which are frequently laborious and prone to errors—are starting to become obstacles. This is when Kubernetes and GitOps come in handy.

Are you looking for a hassle-free way to deploy Moodle™ Learning Management Systems (LMS) on Kubernetes? Look no further! Krestomatio presents the LMS Moodle Operator, an open-source Kubernetes Operator designed to simplify the deployment and management of Moodle instances on Kubernetes clusters. Let's dive into what makes this tool a great choice for Moodle administrators and developers alike.

Securing access to your Kubernetes clusters is crucial as inadequate security measures can lead to unauthorized access and potential data breaches. However, navigating the complexities of Kubernetes access security, especially when setting up strong authentication, authorization, and network policies, can be challenging.

Deploying AI models into production requires tools that can package applications and manage them at scale. Docker simplifies the deployment of AI applications by containerizing them, ensuring that the application runs smoothly in any environment. Kubernetes, an orchestration system for Docker containers, allows for the automated deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications, essential for AI applications that need to scale across multiple servers or cloud environments.

To learn more, you can start by exploring the official Kubernetes documentation.

With the containerized Node.js/Express API, I could run multiple containers, scaling to handle more traffic. Using a tool called minikube, we can easily spin up a local Kubernetes cluster to horizontally scale Docker containers. It was possible to keep one shared instance of the database, and many APIs were routed with an internal Kubernetes load balancer.

This package is widely used for powerful CLI builds, it is used for example for Kubernetes CLI and GitHub CLI, in addition to offering some cool features such as automatic completion of shell, automatic recognition of flags (the tags) , and you can use -h or -help for example, among other facilities.

We closely monitor Kubernetes and cloud providers' updates by following official changelogsand using RSS feeds, allowing us to anticipate potential issues and adapt our infrastructure proactively.

"You are holding it wrong", huh?

From the homepage https://kubernetes.io/:

"Kubernetes, also known as K8s, is an open-source system for automating deployment, scaling, and management of containerized applications."

Do you see "not recommended for smaller-scale applications" anywhere? Including on the entire home page? Looking for "small", "big" and "large" also yields nothing.
