k6load

Overview ¶

Command k6load runs the crud-list workload against a target for a fixed window and KEEPS + validates the k6 summary, exiting non-zero unless the load was a clean measurement (traffic sent, no HTTP errors, no failed checks — benchmarks/internal/k6's Summary.Validate). It is the load half of the footprint measurement: the load generator, not a wall-clock guess, is the authority for whether load actually happened, so footprint-all.sh only records loaded-memory / CPU numbers when this exits 0. Unlike run-crud it writes no results row — it exists purely to drive validated load while the orchestrator samples `docker stats` concurrently.
