Talk info
Monitor transactions and proactive uptime. Functional testing is not something that can inform in a timely manner for the uptime of our applications. So there is a gap in our efforts related to observability and testing. The DevOps team was passionate about their Grafana dashboards, and the QA team was occupied with their K6 performance suite. We decided to collaborate and embark on a pet project that would enable us to achieve synthetic monitoring. Leveraging K6 and Grafana LGTM stack and notifying/ alerting engineering teams on uptime issues on the applications through advanced Prometheus alerting mechanism.
- QA vs DevOps for the first time ever review challenges and collaboration techniques between two similar but different domains.
- Achieve functionality similar to expensive SaaS solutions in an easy and affordable manner!
