Executing Performance Test
Executing perf test involves executing the execute command of machmeter with perf jmeter script as input. This script, when executed, will execute the input jmeter script.
This will execute the Performance test distributed across the GKE cluster created earlier.
For monitoring, server side performance can be seen in the spanner dashboard. For the client, the Grafana dashboard can be used. Please see below for details.
