Load Testing

This is a practitioner-focused guide to load testing with k6, Artillery, and JMeter that emphasizes when to use each test type and what to measure. It covers the fundamentals most teams get wrong: testing in production-like environments, defining pass/fail thresholds before running tests, and choosing between smoke, load, stress, soak, and spike tests based on what question you're actually trying to answer. The skill walks through ramp strategies, virtual user modeling, and automating tests in CI with real code examples. If you're validating performance before a launch or hunting bottlenecks, this gives you the mental models and k6 snippets to do it properly instead of just hammering an endpoint and calling it done.
