Grafana k6 v0.45.0 introduces several new features and improvements, including an experimental module for gRPC streaming support and an updated browser recorder extension for Firefox and Chrome. Users can now upload test scripts to Grafana Cloud without executing them, which is particularly useful for CI processes. Additionally, the release includes updates to the k6 browser, such as replacing existing metrics with Google Web Vital metrics and fixing bugs related to timeout errors and remote object parsing. Grafana Cloud k6 now features a browser recorder for generating scripts from sessions and a project activity view, along with enhanced notification options and security monitoring capabilities. The k6 community continues to expand with new contributors and champions, who actively participate in conferences and write articles on load testing strategies. The release cycle also saw updates to various extensions, including support for the gRPC protocol and improvements to the xk6 output and security features. Users are encouraged to engage with the k6 community via multiple platforms and to take advantage of the free-forever tier offered by Grafana Cloud for performance testing.
