The purpose of this project is to performance test the included REST API using Node.js

Here, you will be testing a simple CRUD REST application for Volvocars Library Management using Node.js and Express.js.

To build the application, you will need to install the following:

Node.js Express.js Joi nodemon (Node Monitor)

Install dependencies & Run service

npm install

npm start

The application will run in the port 8080

http://localhost:8080/api/cars

Task:

1. Run the service
2. Use K6io as the performance testing tool and run tests for the service (GET, POST, PUT, DELETE)
3. Run the service + performance test using docker compose and visualize the results in Graphana
4. Run the service + performance test in Kubernetes and visualize the results in Graphana
5. Create a performance test report with explanation of your thoughts Please use your imagination to implement the solution one such example can be to create a trial account in AWS/GCP and use terraform to allocate infrastructure and run the tests in a EC2 instance :)

Feel free to change the source code if that is necessary for you to show different use cases one such eg: using a external database container to save the data :)

Also feel free to write a blog post with architecture diagram of the solution :)
