Performance Testing From Zero to Hero with K6 & Azure
summary
Shows how to replace deprecated Azure load testing with k6 run scripts wired into an Azure DevOps YAML pipeline, publishing artifacts and passing secrets, and sending metrics to InfluxDB/Grafana via a provided docker-compose. Demonstrates a reusable multi-scenario template using ramping-arrival-rate executors, pre-allocate 650 users for load and ~3,000 VUs for stress, produces ~100 req/s in the demo, and surfaces response spikes up to several seconds so the template catches real bottlenecks.
