Load testing for Pyroscope

This directory contains load test scripts and helpers. Load test scripts are stored in the tests directory, whilst helper functions are kept in lib.

Quick start

TL;DR

To run a test against a local Pyroscope, run

bash

./run.sh testname

To run a test from k6 cloud, run

bash

./run.sh -c testname

Keep in mind when running from k6 cloud, you will need to have a properly configured .env file.

Configuration options

Each load test can be configured with specific environment variables. Descriptions of these variables and their defaults can be found in the .env.template file. To modify a test's behavior, copy .env.template to .env, then modify the variables how you see fit. Once done, run.sh will use the new values to configure the test's behavior.

Tests

`read.js`

This will run load tests targeting Pyroscope's read API. It issues the following queries in "last 1 hour" and "last 24 hour" time windows:
