What problem does it solve?

Go microservices often struggle to meet performance and reliability goals under real-world traffic. This skill provides a ready-to-use framework for validating responsiveness and stability by running structured k6 tests against your service endpoints, ensuring you meet defined performance thresholds.

Core Features & Use Cases

• Multiple test types: smoke, load, stress, spike, and soak tests to cover a range of production scenarios.
• Threshold-driven QA: built-in performance thresholds to flag failures and regressions.
• Asset templates: ready-to-run k6 scripts and an organized directory layout for quick adoption across Go services.
• Use Case: verify throughput and latency for critical endpoints during a release, before migrating traffic to production.

Quick Start

Run the included k6 test scripts against your service by setting BASE_URL and executing a k6 run on the target script, such as k6 run tests/load/notification/smoke.js.
