The best developer experience for performance testing

Collaborate on performance testing

Use a developer-centric experience that bridges the gaps between the traditional Dev, Testing, and Ops silos, allowing teams to work together on testing.

Boost release confidence and speed

Integrate performance testing into the CI/CD process, allowing teams to continuously test existing SLOs and deploy new features without breaking them.

Reduce MTTR with full stack visibility

Correlate load test results and server-side data to gain full context for troubleshooting performance issues — without switching platforms.

Why use Grafana Cloud for performance testing?

Create tests faster

• Get started with the easy-to-use, well-documented k6 APIs and CLI and a familiar scripting language, JavaScript.
• Onboard users quickly and lower the barrier to entry for writing test scripts with the GUI test builder and browser recorder.
• Schedule and automate testing from the web app, CLI, and CI pipelines and use SLOs as the pass/fail criteria.
• Configure diverse test scenarios to model real-world traffic patterns in load tests.

Combine frontend and backend performance testing

• Leverage the Playwright-inspired k6 browser API to simulate user interactions — such as clicking, typing, and navigating through pages — and capture browser performance metrics.
• Run load tests at the protocol level and deploy a few virtual users at the browser level for a hybrid approach, providing a holistic view of your application’s performance.
• Debug issues faster with out-of-the-box reports on Web Vitals metrics, detailed browser interaction timelines, and screenshots captured during test runs.

Run cloud tests

• Launch tests from 21 geographic locations to ensure a great experience no matter where your users are.
• Run load tests in the cloud for up to 1 million concurrent virtual users or 5 million requests/second.

Analyze performance test results

• The intelligent Cloud Insights algorithms automatically surface test and application performance-related issues.
• Detect performance changes when comparing results between tests and trends over time.

Correlate performance testing and observability

• Go from running performance tests to problem resolution in a seamless experience.
• Visualize and query performance tests in Grafana.
• Add k6 visualizations to your existing Grafana dashboards.
• Automatically correlate performance test results with server-side metrics, logs, and traces to find root causes quickly.
