Over a two-month period, contributed to the DiamondLightSource/workflows repository by building a scalable performance testing framework for Kubernetes environments. Developed and deployed K6-based load and performance testing capabilities, including multi-cluster support and templated Helm charts for flexible configuration. Enhanced observability by integrating OpenTelemetry for monitoring and adding Grafana dashboards to visualize real-time metrics. Improved security through updated Keycloak authentication and refined machine account alignment. The work emphasized automation and reliability, with runtime token validation and optimized test execution. Utilized TypeScript, YAML, and Helm to deliver robust, CI-ready solutions that enable early detection of performance issues and streamlined cluster management.
May 2026 monthly summary for the DiamondLightSource/workflows repository. Delivered a scalable K6 load-testing framework across Argus and Pollux with templated Helm charts, enabling cluster-specific configuration and straightforward scaling. Implemented a K6 synthetic probe and optimized run configuration to ensure single-run executions, while fixing chart YAML details to improve reliability. Strengthened observability with OpenTelemetry collector scrape jobs and updated OTEL configurations, and added Grafana dashboards with improved access controls for real-time performance visibility. Published K6 documentation covering setup, Grafana integration, and OpenTelemetry integration. Hardened security by updating Keycloak credentials and aligning staging machine-account authentication. These changes deliver reliable, scalable performance testing at speed, with end-to-end visibility and stronger security posture.
