What metrics are tracked during the performance benchmarks?

The skill focuses on critical performance indicators including P95/P99 latency, success rates, maximum RPS achieved, and CPU/memory utilization during peak loads.

Can this skill scale my application automatically?

It provides the Kubernetes Horizontal Pod Autoscaler (HPA) YAML configurations and metrics definitions required to automate scaling based on CPU usage or custom queue depth metrics.

Do I need k6 installed to use this skill?

Yes, while the skill writes the scripts and provides execution commands, the k6 load testing tool must be installed on your system or CI/CD environment to run the tests.

How does this skill help with Perplexity rate limits?

It generates k6 scripts with configurable requests-per-second (RPS) and error thresholds to help you identify rate limits and includes connection pooling logic to manage concurrent requests efficiently.
