    The next step is already the target conversion of the HAR format file to k6 script. For this we use script provided in Grafana's repository.
  • Load testing is hard, and the tools are not great. But why?

    I agree that the popular load testing tools leave plenty to be desired, but have you given k6[1] a try? (Full disclosure: I'm one of the maintainers.)

    Tests are written in JavaScript and there's support for HTTP, WebSockets and (unary) gRPC. You can easily script a combination of these protocols to mimic real world traffic.

    Furthermore you can record a user flow with a browser extension[2] and convert the generated HAR file to a k6 script[3], which would give you an even closer real world scenario. The conversion is not perfect and depending on the service you might need to manually modify the script, but it would get you 90% of the way there.
