This article translates and expands Anton Putra's benchmark, detailing how to deploy Nginx and Envoy on AWS with Terraform and Ansible, run HTTP, HTTPS, and gRPC load tests using K6, measure CPU and latency with Prometheus, and compare the resulting throughput and stability of both proxies.
This article walks through a real-world investigation of memory leaks in a Rust-based frontend service, detailing common leak scenarios, profiling tools like tokio-console and jemalloc, load testing with k6, and the step-by-step analysis that uncovered regex misuse and cache bugs, ultimately stabilizing memory usage.
This article explores Goja, a pure‑Go JavaScript engine, detailing its features, integration with the K6 load‑testing tool, and practical code examples for embedding scripts, passing values, handling structs, invoking Go functions, error handling, and VM pooling to achieve high performance in Go applications.
A comprehensive benchmark compares multiple PHP runtimes—including Apache, Nginx, Nginx Unit, Roadrunner, FrankenPHP, and Swoole—under identical Docker‑based test conditions using k6 load testing, revealing significant performance differences and offering practical recommendations for Symfony applications.
In a series of local benchmarks on a 2.6 GHz six‑core Intel i7 machine, the author compares K6, Gatling, and FunTester under 10 k to 20 k QPS loads, detailing CPU, memory, and response‑time metrics, analyzing script languages, JVM settings, and offering optimization suggestions for FunTester.
This article benchmarks four load‑testing frameworks—JMeter, k6, Locust, and FunTester—across multiple concurrency levels, measuring CPU, memory, QPS and response time to reveal each tool’s strengths, weaknesses, and scalability limits.
