Performance issues are nobody's favorite surprises. When they hit, fixing them is tough and often costly. The smart move: shift left and catch problems early in the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). This session dives into how performance testing is built into the Alfresco delivery pipeline. We use k6 for reliable load tests, InfluxDB to save the flood of metrics, and Grafana for turning numbers into clear visuals every team can act on. The goal is simple: make performance testing a routine, automated part of your SDLC, and not a last-minute checkbox before every release.
