Grafana k6
A developer-oriented open performance tool for HTTP, HTTP/2, WebSocket, and gRPC scenarios, including stress, spike, soak, and browser testing with metrics export to observability systems.
Why use it
Use Grafana k6 to script login, saves, matchmaking, and leaderboard paths, validating capacity, thresholds, and degradation before events or launch without first building a large test platform.
Where it fits
Use testing, performance, accessibility, and diagnostic tools to remove problems players will notice.
What to check
The open edition does not fully coordinate distributed tests and load generators can bottleneck; cloud usage is separately priced, while AGPL distribution duties and production-test authorization need review.
