Are Your APIs Performing Enough? Not Sure, Let’s Test It Then
summary
Explains why API performance testing catches slow responses, CPU/memory bottlenecks and scaling failures and shows converting Postman collections into k6 scripts with the Postman to k6 converter then running 5 virtual users for 1 minute to simulate load; demonstrates k6 stages for load, stress, spike and soak, adds an HTML reporter and inspects results where a run issues 1,072 total requests and 1 failed request, showing actionable percentiles, medians and where to add monitoring.
