    Test Automation Made Simple

    As we are using Karate DSL for API testing, a straightforward choice would be to go with Gatling, as it nicely integrates with Karate DSL, and we can reuse our existing tests for performance testing.

  • Grafana

    The open and composable observability and data visualization platform. Visualize metrics, logs, and traces from multiple sources like Prometheus, Loki, Elasticsearch, InfluxDB, Postgres and many more.

    I just got the task, to advise on which performance testing framework to use for our product. As we already use Grafana, the suggestion coming from our Dev Lead, to examine whether it would be a good fit or not.

  • InfluxDB

    Power Real-Time Data Analytics at Scale. Get real-time insights from all types of time series data with InfluxDB. Ingest, query, and analyze billions of data points in real-time with unbounded cardinality.

  • Gatling

    Modern Load Testing as Code

    As we are using Karate DSL for API testing, a straightforward choice would be to go with Gatling, as it nicely integrates with Karate DSL, and we can reuse our existing tests for performance testing.
