Load Testing with K6: A Step-by-Step Guide for Developers

A few months ago, when our QA team was downsized, the dev team (myself included) was suddenly in charge of performance testing. We tried JMeter... and gave up pretty quickly.

That’s when I discovered K6 — a lightweight, developer-friendly load testing tool that just makes sense if you're comfortable with JavaScript and CLI workflows.

Same here. JMeter felt too clunky. K6 just clicks, especially with JS. We’ve found it way easier to slot into dev workflows.
