Getting started with API Load Testing (Stress, Spike, Load, Soak)

Hello everybody I'm Nick and in this video I am to show you how you can get started very quickly and easily with Load Testing. I am going to use a tool called K6 for that because of how low the barrier for entry is but also how extensible the tool itself can be.

Thank you for this insanely simple and straight forward way to do load testing.

This is great! Would be great to see a similar video on how to go about understanding the limits(load test) of an event/message based application, if possible

[yuriiarestov]

Very helpful! I like that Nick shows all these small and big things that sometimes difficult to find somewhere. One of my fav dev channels!

[BrammyS]

Never knew it was so simple to do, definitely gonna try this.

[millerdrew]

This is a great breakdown of how to get started with K6!

[joethompson]

Great info, this is something I always intend to learn about but never know where to start. Thanks!

[antonscherbuna]

Great video, I will use it as a starting point for performance testing on my project!!!

[paulsanchez]

I would actually watch the jmeter video too btw... I'm so in.

[codezoo]

This is great, thanks! I’ll start using it today.

[romanhrytskiv]

Nice video!
Tip: you can use CTRL+L instead of clear. Also there is recursive search feature CTR+R

[motizukilucas]

Looks pretty good. Will definitely be testing this out.

Such a good tutorial, leaving a comment for algorithm. Thanks mate

[chandimalmadhuranga]

Thank you for simple and clear explanation.

[robbyhechtmusic]

Thank you! This was very helpful. I'd love to see these applied in JMeter.

[jaykishoreduvvuri]

Nice one thanks for sharing ! Yes need k6 on websites as well please. Thank you once again for this video

[robadobdob]

Nice one. Exactly what I need to know right now.

[DaviGn]

Great info! I knew jMeter but I didn't like it too much. Now I can test a logic endpoints sequence in many ways. We'll be implementing this on my work. Thank you!

Nobody likes stress but we can always learn to manage it. Keep it up!

[dangvu]

Thank you very much for the excellent explanation!

hello nick, love your videos! maybe you can make a video about sonarQube and how it can integrate with your project and tests
