   When metrics aren't enough – solving performance mysteries with Pyroscope

   In our project, we encountered persistent CPU spikes and elusive memory leaks causing performance headaches. Leveraging the power of Grafana Pyroscope, we delved deep into continuous profiling to reveal the hidden bottlenecks obstructing our application’s efficiency. Through a practical walkthrough of our use case, we’ll showcase how Pyroscope uncovered the root causes, enabling us to fine-tune our code and enhance system performance significantly.

   Grafana K6 and automated performance testing - a wonderful combination

   We have built the completed managed observability solution using Grafana OSS LGTM Stack and the solution is hosted on AWS and EKS.The customers can onboard themselves if they’re a valid Philips business unit or cross function or any project teams as well. This solution was also built as a replacement for legacy logging applications hosted in CloudFoundry.

   We needed to automate different workflows like tenant onboarding/offboarding and solution health checks, so we have adopted GitHub Actions as the CICD pipeline tool and performance tests are also done to create our initial benchmarks for the solution.

   For the performance tests automation and frequent health checks for the HTTP endpoints we exposed to receive telemetry data into the solution, K6 was used and it has done real wonders in quick time. Since the solution will be deployed in multiple environments/instances, we wanted a unified way of using K6 across all the places. So:

   1. We have dockerized the K6 tool with all the addons needed into a Docker image with the default test scripts. (to avoid script failures)
   2. The test parameters like virtual users, test type, HTTP endpoints and credentials are parameterized and exposed as ENV variables.
   3. Once the tests are executed in CICD pipeline, the metrics are pushed to the Prometheus compatible backend.
   4. The metrics are used in the Grafana dashboards (community provided) to visualize the results.
