Load testing an event-driven message queue

Load testing is crucial for ensuring the availability and scalability of event-driven message queues like Inngest. K6, a modern load testing tool written in Go, allows users to define small JavaScript-based tests, ramp up virtual users (VUs), and export results in various formats. By setting up services on real-world infrastructure and using external machines for testing, one can better understand the limitations of their systems. Inngest's cloud service offers a scalable solution for event-driven background functions with no setup required.
