Are your applications fast enough for real users — or are you just hoping they are?
Performance Testing with k6 is the practical, hands-on guide that takes you from complete beginner to confident performance engineer. Written for developers, QA engineers, and DevOps professionals, this book teaches you how to find performance bottlenecks before your users do — using k6, one of the fastest-growing open-source performance testing tools available today.
Unlike theoretical textbooks, every concept in this book is taught through clear, working JavaScript code examples that you can run immediately. You will learn by doing — writing real load tests, interpreting real results, and fixing real performance problems.
What you will learn:
- How to write k6 load tests from scratch using JavaScript — no prior k6 experience needed
- Load testing, stress testing, spike testing, and soak testing — when to use each and how to design them
- How to define thresholds that automatically pass or fail your tests in CI/CD pipelines
- Integrating k6 with GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, and CircleCI for automated performance gates
- Visualising live test results with Grafana and InfluxDB dashboards
- Testing WebSockets, gRPC services, and real browser interactions including Core Web Vitals
- Running globally distributed tests with k6 Cloud and the Kubernetes Operator
- Five complete real-world case studies covering e-commerce, payments APIs, chat services, and more
By the end of this book you will have a fully automated performance testing program integrated into your development workflow — catching regressions before they reach production, protecting your users from slow and unreliable software, and giving your team the confidence to deploy faster.
This book is for you if:
- You are a developer, QA engineer, or DevOps professional who wants to master performance testing
- You know JavaScript basics but have never written a performance test before
- You have tried other performance testing tools and found them too complex or too rigid
- You want to integrate automated performance validation into your CI/CD pipeline
Covering 15 structured chapters, 100+ working code examples, and a 30-day action plan, this is the most complete k6 resource available — your definitive reference for performance testing modern web applications.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
