Grant Young, Software Engineer in Test at GitLab, talks to Nicole and Mihail from k6 about how GitLab uses k6 for internal load testing, and why they decided to include k6 in GitLab Premium so their users can run load tests easily, too. This episode of k6 Office Hours is pre-recorded-- Nicole had a presentation this week at TestCon Europe, so she needed some time to prepare and to watch other presentations.

In this episode of k6 Office Hours, Nicole is joined by Lee Barnes, founder and CTO of Utopia Solutions, to discuss how to do continuous performance testing and incorporate performance tests into CI/CD pipelines within DevOps or Agile frameworks. Performance testing should be done at every stage of the software development cycle.

In this episode of k6 Office Hours, Nicole is joined by Tom Miseur, a Technical Specialist at k6, to talk about tips and tricks for debugging a test script using k6 and other tools like Fiddler and DevTools.

How do you do microservices testing and improve the performance and reliability of complex modern architectures? What is Kubedim, and how can k6 load testing be used to verify outcomes for a microservices-based system? Nicole van der Hoeven (k6 Developer Advocate), Daniel González Lopes (k6 SRE), and Kelvin Zhang (incoming Google SWE) discuss Kelvin's master's thesis at the Imperial College London.

How do you monitor your application during k6 load testing? In this video, Nicole van der Hoeven learns how to install Grafana and Prometheus in her Kubernetes cluster (hosted in DigitalOcean), then runs a load test against her application with k6.

In this episode of k6 Office Hours, Nicole is joined by Pawel Suwala, CTO of k6, to give you a sneak peek of how we work at k6, and what we're working on next. We're going to talk about the methodology we use for creating k6, the different teams we have, and exciting new features that are coming soon!

In this episode of k6 Office Hours, Nicole and Simme are joined by Marcus Olsson, Developer Advocate at Grafana Labs, to talk about how to create plugins for open-source projects like k6 and Grafana.

So, Grafana Labs acquired k6. What do they do again? Nicole van der Hoeven goes through the landscape of Grafana Labs projects, explains what each one does, and how they could be useful for performance testing.

In this episode of k6 Office Hours, Nicole and Simme discuss how to run distributed load tests with k6 Operator, an open-source project that orchestrates k6 load testing scripts across any infrastructure you have available.

Nicole van der Hoeven shows how to add performance testing to a CI/CD pipeline from scratch and for free, using k6 to write a test script and GitHub Actions to automate it. She also talks about how to set it up using k6 Cloud and why the extra cost might be justified. OTHER CI/CD TOOLS.
