InfluxDB

Recently, k6 started supporting k6 extensions to extend k6 capabilities for other cases required by the community. The community has already built plenty of extensions. k6 extensions are written in Go, and many of them are reusing existing Go libraries.
The xk6-kafka extension provides some convenient functions for interacting with Kafka Producers and Consumers. It serves as a producer that can send a high volume of messages per second, allowing you to monitor the system under test (SUT) and test how the application will keep up with the load.
