Environment

Create a new .env in the root directory of the project.

Here is a basic example:

APP=example
VERSION=0.1.0
HOST=http://127.0.0.1
PORT=8080
LOG_LEVEL=-4
TIMEOUT=5000

Taskfile

Installation: https://taskfile.dev/installation/

We will use this to chain together multiple commands for simplifying processes with more than one step.

For example, running the webserver:

task webserver

vs

docker compose up

go run main.go webserver

docker compose down

K6

Build Custom K6 Image

• Run the command task k6:pull to pull the latest xk6 image.
• Then run task k6:build to build a custom k6 image with faker extension.

Running A Load Test

• Run task k6:new filename={$filename} to create a new load test script.
• Run the script with command task k6:run filename={$filename}.

Grafana

Configure Grafana Dashboard

• Open http://localhost:3000.
• Select 'Create New Dashboard'.
• Create a new data source and select Prometheus.
• Use http://host.docker.internal:9090.
• Import a new dashboard using JSON found in tools/grafana/dashboards.

Prometheus

Run Unit Tests

• Make sure both docker compose and prometheus are running.
• Run the command task prometheus:test.

PPROF

usage:

Produce output in the specified format.

   pprof <format> [options] [binary] <source> ...

Omit the format to get an interactive shell whose commands can be used
to generate various views of a profile

   pprof [options] [binary] <source> ...

Omit the format and provide the "-http" flag to get an interactive web
interface at the specified host:port that can be used to navigate through
various views of a profile.

   pprof -http [host]:[port] [options] [binary] <source> ...
