Name: Running distributed load tests with k6

Observability and CI/CD are must-haves in cloud-native environments. At their core, both are about enabling humans and machines to understand their code and workloads more deeply. Reliability testing should be part of CI/CD feeding into your observability stack, but until recently, there were mainly paid download or SaaS solutions on the market.

[Grafana's k6](https://k6.io/) reliability testing tool allows you to load test your applications, validate your API contracts, and perform end-to-end browser tests. With [k6-operator](https://github.com/grafana/k6-operator), you can now run distributed tests within your Kubernetes cluster.

We will walk through setting up a k6-operator, how to configure your tests using JavaScript, and how to visualize the results in Grafana alongside your real-world production data.

**Speaker:**
Paul Balogh works at Grafana Labs as a k6 Developer Advocate working with the Go development community building k6 Extensions.

The basic agenda follows:
\* 6:00 - 6:20 Food and networking (Go excels at networking).
\* 6:20 - 6:30 Announcements, intros, and so forth.
\* 6:30 - 7:30 Main presentation of the month.
\* 7:30 - 8:00 Q&A

Please join us for this **in-person event** in Cortex! ***Please, be sure to RSVP so that we can plan the food appropriately as well as scheduling ample meeting space.*** Your help in this is greatly appreciated as we try to ensure the safety and comfort of those attending.
