K6 vs JMeter for Sakai Load Testing – Looking for Insights

[AUMS Team]

We’re planning to use K6 for load testing our Sakai deployment. Previously, we tried JMeter, but the results weren’t very consistent or reflective of real user activity.

Has anyone used K6 for Sakai performance or scalability testing? Would you recommend it, or are there better alternatives or best practices we should consider?

I have used both. K6 is preferred. Here is a repo showing a POC:
