Load Testing

Once your server is up and running, you should perform load testing to make sure it can handle the expected amount of traffic with adequate performance. We recommend using k6 for this purpose.

Prerequisites

First, install k6 for your operating system. For example, on MacOS:

Terminal window
brew install k6

Running Tests

In the Open Data Capture repository, there is a package @opendatacapture/k6 that contains an example of load testing with our public demo.

Terminal window
cd testing/k6

Once you are in that repository, you can run the example with the following command:

pnpm run test:demo
