Also, do you have a step by step demonstration video or document on how to use k6 in gitlab pipelines job for a project/microservice ?

Hi, welcome to the forum :slight_smile:

You can find plenty of examples by searching the documentation, the blog or this very forum.

In general k6 can test any application over HTTP/WS/gRPC, so the examples you find will be agnostic to the backend stack used. The backend implementation is relevant for deploying and scaling the system-under-test, but not for k6 itself.

Testing different DB systems is a bit more complicated if they don’t expose HTTP endpoints, and for Redis and Kafka for example we recommend trying out the new (experimental) k6 extensions: xk6-redis and xk6-kafka. Also see this article for an introduction to xk6.

For running in a Kubernetes environment, take a look at this article. The official Docker image should work for you there.

For an example of integration with GitLab, see this article.

HTH,

Ivan
