Performance Testing in Keptn Using K6
summary
Keptn runs K6 load tests as short-lived Kubernetes Jobs via the Keptn Job Executor Service, using a k6 Docker image and k6 run to produce pass/fail exit codes from k6 thresholds (example: k6 reports P95 ≈ 378 ms). k6 exports metrics to Prometheus; Keptn fetches SLIs from Prometheus and evaluates weighted SLOs with Quality Gates (example: Prometheus returns P95 ≈ 398 ms), letting pipelines gate promotions on score-based SLO evaluation.
