The shift to cloud native architecture has fundamentally altered the tools needed to monitor, troubleshoot and optimize the performance of distributed applications and infrastructure. There are newer, better tools, but are the same black box testing methods from the late 2000s still being used to check the response?

Wouldn’t it be awesome if the visibility enabled by distributed tracing could also be used to provide the visibility needed by load-testing tools?

k6 tests can be scaled to thousands of concurrent requests using much less hardware than legacy load-testing tools.

This new integration between Tracetest and k6 gives load-testing the deep visibility needed to actually catch load and performance issues across your distributed app.
