Demonstrates how to run load tests with containerised instances of K6, Grafana and InfluxDB.
docker-compose up -d influxdb grafana
docker-compose run k6 run /scripts/stress-test.js
Grafana Url http://localhost:3000/
Influx DB Url http://localhost:8888/
The dashboard in /dashboards is adapted from the excellent K6 / Grafana dashboard here: https://grafana.com/grafana/dashboards/2587
There are only two small modifications:
- the data source is configured to use the docker created InfluxDB data source
- the time period is set to now-15m, which I feel is a better view for most tests
The script here is an example of a low Virtual User (VU) load test of the excellent Star Wars API: https://swapi.dev/
If you're tinkering with the script, it is just a friendly open source API, be gentle!
