Course Description
Performance testing today is not just about generating load — it is about measuring, analyzing, and validating system behavior across APIs and browsers with proper observability.
This K6 Performance Testing MasterClass teaches you how to design complete performance testing solutions using K6 and JavaScript — covering both backend API flows and frontend browser-level validation.
You will start by mastering core K6 concepts including stages, thresholds, checks, tags, and custom metrics. You will learn how to design realistic load models and validate non-functional requirements effectively.
The course then walks you through building real-world API test flows such as registration, login, and transactional chains. You will extract dynamic data from JSON responses, implement assertions, and structure modular K6 scripts using JavaScript best practices.
Beyond APIs, you will integrate the K6 Browser library with Playwright to perform browser-level load testing. You will capture Web Vitals metrics such as LCP and CLS, track page-wise performance, and validate real user experience under load.
A dedicated section covers Grafana Cloud integration, where you will stream K6 metrics to Grafana dashboards for real-time monitoring, visualization, and performance analysis. This bridges the gap between load generation and observability — a key skill in modern DevOps environments.
Finally, you will integrate K6 tests into CI/CD pipelines to automate performance validation.
By the end of this course, you will be capable of designing scalable, observable, production-ready performance testing frameworks using K6.
This is a complete API + Browser + Observability Performance Engineering MasterClass.

Great course—I learned a lot and would recommend it to anyone. There’s really a lot of information to take in. Sometimes the English was a bit unclear, but the subtitles helped. I’ll definitely take more courses from this instructor.
By Pramod Pardeshi on 3/4/2026
Excellent course for learning performance testing with k6. The concepts are explained clearly with practical examples and real-world scenarios. I especially liked the hands-on approach with Grafana Cloud dashboards and CI/CD integration. Highly recommended for QA engineers and developers who want to learn modern performance testing.
By Bhumija Kumari on 2/22/2026
Really enjoyed this course as an introduction to K6 and performance testing. The concepts are explained in a very simple and practical way, and the JavaScript examples are easy to follow. I liked that it focuses on real scenarios rather than just theory. By the end of the course, I felt confident writing and running my own performance tests and would definitely recommend it to others.
By Srushti B on 2/22/2026
I purchased this course to get a practical understanding of K6 and it did the job perfectly. The examples are easy to follow and feel closer to real-world use rather than just demo scripts. It helped me understand how to think about load and performance instead of blindly running tests. Overall, a useful course if you’re new to K6 and want to actually apply it. Thanks Rahul Shetty sir, for making this course easy to understand and implement in the real world

I'm halfway through this K6 Performance course and I couldn't be more impressed! Rahul Shetty's teaching style is both engaging and approachable, making complex concepts easy to understand. The hands-on exercises helped me apply what I learned in real-world scenarios, especially with the API and browser load testing. I particularly loved how the integration with Grafana allowed me to visualize performance metrics in real-time. This course truly enhanced my skills and confidence in performance testing. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to upskill in this area!
