Artillery vs k6 vs JMeter: An Honest Comparison of Load Testing Tools

Every "Artillery vs k6 vs JMeter" comparison online has the same "resource usage: Moderate/Low/High" row and no numbers behind it. We got tired of repeating that without evidence, so we built a fixed target server, ran all three tools against it with matched load

Artillery Scenarios: Multi-Step Flows, Variables, and Realistic User Behavior

A load test that only hits one endpoint tells you how fast that endpoint is. It doesn't tell you how your system behaves when users log in, search for products, add items to a cart, and check out — all at the same time, with realistic delays between actions.

Artillery Plugins: Metrics, Assertions, and Observability Integrations

Out of the box, Artillery gives you latency percentiles and status code counts. That's a starting point, but for serious load testing you need custom assertions, metrics that go to your observability stack, and hooks to run custom logic during tests. Artillery's plugin system covers all

Getting Started with Artillery: Your First HTTP Load Test

Artillery is a load testing tool built for developers. You write YAML, you run a command, you get results. No GUI to learn, no Java heap to tune, no XML to wrestle. If you can write a curl command, you can write an Artillery test. This post covers installation, the

Artillery in CI: GitHub Actions, GitLab, Thresholds, and Fail-Fast Strategies

Running load tests manually before releases is better than not running them. Running them automatically on every pull request is better still. Blocking a merge when performance regresses is the goal. This post covers integrating Artillery into GitHub Actions and GitLab CI, setting thresholds that actually gate deployments, and strategies

Artillery CI/CD Integration: Automated Performance Testing in Pipelines

Running Artillery tests locally gives you confidence. Running them in CI turns that confidence into a deployment gate — your pipeline fails if performance degrades, before users notice. This guide covers integrating Artillery into GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, and Jenkins, along with threshold configuration, report generation, and patterns for different pipeline

Artillery Load Testing: Test Node.js and HTTP APIs at Scale

Your Node.js API handles 10 concurrent users without breaking a sweat. Your staging environment runs clean. Then you ship, traffic picks up, and at 300 simultaneous users the response times double, the queue backs up, and your database starts dropping connections. Nobody saw it coming because nobody tested it
