FAQPage Schema
How do I run distributed load testing for a FastAPI or Flask application?▼

Distributed load testing for FastAPI or Flask is automated using Locust to generate traffic across multiple worker nodes. The Skill provides ready-to-run Python test scripts and load-shape configurations to quantify API performance and identify bottlenecks.

What is the best way to integrate k6 API performance tests into a CI/CD pipeline?▼

Integrating k6 API performance tests into a CI/CD pipeline is supported through ready-to-run test scripts and event hooks. This allows automated load testing to run continuously, validating API performance during software deployment workflows.

Does this load testing approach support custom load shapes for Python APIs?▼

Yes, custom load shapes are fully supported for Python APIs. You can define specific traffic patterns and ramp-up profiles using Python-based Locust scripts to simulate real-world user behavior and stress test API endpoints accurately.

Can I use Locust and k6 together for API performance testing?▼

Locust and k6 can be used together for API performance testing. Locust handles Python-based distributed load generation while k6 provides additional performance validation, giving teams flexible options for quantifying API behavior.

Do I need Python and Locust installed to start load testing my API?▼

Yes, Python and Locust are required dependencies to start load testing your API. Optional k6 installation is recommended if you need additional performance testing capabilities beyond the core Python-based framework integration.
