At k6 we regularly get a request to support another programming language in addition to JavaScript. Go developers would like to write test scripts in Go, Java developers migrating from jMeter would like to write tests in Java. We have evaluated these requests and discussed in detail internally if this is a good direction for the k6 tool. Ultimately we have decided against supporting more programming languages for scripting. Below is our reasoning for this decision.

In a world that’s literally had to define a new normal, standards and rules around safety and quality have been scrutinized more than ever before. And that new reality is affecting standard operations for some industries. While the importance of compliance has not changed, the complexity of it may have.

Until recently, teams were building a small handful of Kafka streaming applications. They were usually associated with Big Data workloads (analytics, data science etc.), and data serialization would typically be in AVRO or JSON. Now a wider set of engineering teams are building entire software products with microservices decoupled through Kafka. Many teams have adopted Google Protobuf as their serialization, partly due to its use in gRPC.

Every time someone uses an app, information travels from a database to the user via an API. Single instances may not seem very important. As long as they perform the required task, people don’t think too much about how applications work. From a business perspective, the big data flowing through APIs could unlock important knowledge that helps tap into emerging trends and target customers better. To get the best results, companies need the best big data API management.

With thousands of different web browsers, operating systems, and device combinations available, it’s impossible for software companies to control their users’ environments. All of these choices put the control in the hands of the user: if your web application or website is glitchy or looks bad on the browser they use, then you’ve probably lost that user as a customer.

Data integration is the data engineering process of combining data from disparate sources into a single unified view of the data. The process begins with data ingestion from different source systems. This includes data extraction from disparate sources, data transformations or cleaning, and loading the data into a single repository - anything from Excel data sets to Enterprise data stores.
