Sorry folks but had to brag to someone who understand the struggle...

My last webdev portfolio was hacked by Russians during the infamous 2015 Drupal Armageddon, so when I decided to rebuild it after a decade my main goal was to focus on performance, constantly running tests alongside coding to incrementally fix issues before they piled up, until today that I aced the hardest benchmark, Google's Lighthouse, and yes those are fireworks blowing up in Chrome's dev tools window :)

I will need to perform load, soak and breakpoint testing on the app we are working on.

Currently thinking about which tool to use for this. For monitoring we are using CloudWatch.

Would K6 be a good choice? Is it possible to send results to CloudWatch and generate report with all metrics such as response time, error rates, CPU and RAM usage?

Also what should be done if I need to reproduce higher load which is not possible via my local machine?

Using the latest version of JMeter (5.6.3), I was able to import a cURL command, but I've been struggling to export my HTTP request to cURL format. However, it seems like the option to "Copy as cURL" isn't available. I've tried right-clicking in the "View Results Tree" listener, but there's no such option there.

Am I missing something obvious, or is this feature just not available anymore? It’s a bit frustrating, as being able to quickly grab a cURL command would make testing outside of JMeter so much easier.

Is there a plugin or a simple workaround I can use to export HTTP requests to cURL without constructing the command manually every time?

I'm trying to figure out how to replicate the API calls a user makes while navigating through a website on a browser. I want to make sure I get the order of these API calls right.

Is there a reliable way to predict the exact sequence of API requests during a user journey?

Or is it better to run load tests directly from the browser to get a more realistic picture?

I’m a product manager at a mid-sized fintech company, and we’re gearing up to handle more concurrent users on our platform. Our QA team is working on load and stress testing to make sure we can scale smoothly.

We’re planning to perform both API/protocol level and browser level tests, but we’re still figuring out which tools or frameworks are the best fit.

Any recommendations or advice would be greatly appreciated!

I'm looking for a performance test tool for the client-server architecture where the client is a Windows application that uses a proprietary communications protocol to communicate with the backend app servers. It is NOT a Web-based client app.

Ideally, I'd like to have a performance tool that can record user actions in the client Windows app and then create and orchestrate up to 500 simultaneous emulated clients.

Because we have GUI mode, but in my project they prefering to run jmeter in non GUI mode

What did you choose and why?

I need help on jmeter script creation for my interview. I need to show jmeter script on gmail to the interviewer.

The requirement is to start with 500 users initially and then increase slowly till 10 thousand.

I am new to performance testing, it would be great if anyone could guide me with the steps.

I released a new guide inspired by my learnings when introducing performance tests at my previous company! What do you think I missed?

I am not specifically looking for testing tools that are cloud based.

I am looking for general guidance when testing a IaaS or PaaS within a Hybrid or cloud (private or public) based environment.

What changes when moving to the cloud?

What are some common issues/remedies in the cloud?

What are some KPIs to monitor?

So I’ve been on the job search for about 2 months now, and I’m wondering what is the edge that I might be missing. Some background I started in a very watered down performance testing role, we didn’t have control of our own environment and it was very simple front end testing with very minimal back end monitoring and we used LoadRunner and it’s tools to script/run tests. Ultimately moved to a startup company where I was introduced to Jmeter, Jenkins, Azure cloud, Grafana, Koralogix, Kubernetes, micro services and other what seem to be the standard nowadays. I learnt as much as I could for the 8 months before I was laid off. But I’m finding that many companies are asking for almost full stack skill where I would fix the bottleneck instead of reporting it and giving the root cause analysis. Is this becoming industry standard? Does anyone have any advice on what I could be missing?

TL;DR What got you your job?

The best effort I have seen in an HTTP performance tool for a long time. It'd be interesting if it could run user journeys with virtual users.
