Nicole van der Hoeven talks about what performance testing is, why it's the other half of observability, and the easiest way to run a test using k6 while seeing the results on Grafana. She mentions integration options, involving the k6 Grafana data source plugin as well as how to utilize Prometheus Remote Write to visualize k6 load testing results along with other metrics to Grafana.
