One topic that is rarely mentioned but extremely important in the world of APIs is the use of cache. To dive into the subject, let’s first understand what cache is. A cache is a mechanism by which an application temporarily stores API responses or data to reuse them in subsequent requests, thereby avoiding repeated calls to the server and improving performance, latency, and resource consumption.

Choosing the right framework for your needs is not an easy task, especially when you are not professionally working in performance engineering. This post will compare free, open-source L&P testing frameworks such as K6, Gatling, and our in-house multi-talent Performator, built to incorporate all the features that we missed in the other tools.

Gatling or K6? I tested both with the same setup here’s how they compare in setup, reporting, and performance.

Performance testing ensures your app runs fast and stays stable even when users flood in.

Functional testing ensures your features work as expected and helps catch bugs before users ever see them.

Focusing only on successes creates blind spots. Survivorship hides failures in cybersecurity, performance testing, and incident management.

Discover the observability-first approach to performance testing, uncovering bottlenecks and creating realistic, data-driven test scenarios.

The goal was to see how well ChatGPT could handle multiple interactions, especially when each question varied in complexity.
