+# NowChess Load Testing with k6
+
+Performance testing suite for NowChess services using k6.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+# Install k6 (macOS)
+brew install k6
+
+# Or download from https://k6.io/docs/getting-started/installation/
+```
+
+## Test Scenarios
+
+### 1. Ramp-Up Test
+Gradually increases load from 10 to 100 concurrent users.
+
+```bash
+k6 run ramp-up.js
+```
+
+Target: Identify system behavior under gradual load increase.
+
+### 2. Stress Test
+Incremental load increase up to 500 concurrent users to find breaking point.
+
+```bash
+k6 run stress-test.js
+```
+
+Target: Determine system capacity and failure point.
+
+### 3. Spike Test
+Sudden traffic surge (baseline 50 → 500 users instantly).
+
+```bash
+k6 run spike-test.js
+```
+
+Target: Test recovery and resilience to sudden spikes.
+
+### 4. Constant Load Test
+Maintains 50 VUs for 10 minutes.
+
+```bash
+k6 run constant-load.js
+```
+
+Target: Check stability under sustained load.
+
+## Environment Variables
+
+```bash
+# Override service endpoints
+export BASE_URL=http://localhost:8080
+export ACCOUNT_HOST=http://localhost:8083
+export STORE_HOST=http://localhost:8085
+
+k6 run ramp-up.js
+```
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+Ensure services are running:
+- Core: `localhost:8080`
+- Account: `localhost:8083`
+- Store: `localhost:8085`
+- Redis: `localhost:6379` (with increased pool size)
+
+## Metrics Interpretation
+
+- `http_req_duration`: Response time (p95, p99 percentiles matter most)
+- `http_req_failed`: Failed requests (connection errors, errors, non-2xx responses)
+- `vus`: Virtual Users (concurrent connections)
+- `iterations`: Completed test cycles per VU
+
+## Results
+
+k6 generates HTML report output. Use with:
+
+```bash
+k6 run --out=csv=results.csv ramp-up.js
+```
+
+## Troubleshooting
+
+If you see:
+- **"max pool wait timeout"** → Redis pool still too small or maxWaitTime too short
+- **"connection refused"** → Service not running
+- **"high p99 latency"** → System approaching capacity
+
+Increase Redis pool settings in `modules/*/src/main/resources/application.yml`:
+```yaml
+quarkus:
+  redis:
+    pool:
+      max-size: 128  # Increase if still hitting limits
+      max-waiting: 256
+```

+# JMH Benchmarks
+
+Java Microbenchmark Harness (JMH) benchmarks for performance-critical components.
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+./gradlew modules:benchmarks:jmhJar
+```
+
+Produces `modules/benchmarks/build/libs/benchmarks-1.0-SNAPSHOT-jmh.jar`.
+
+## Running Benchmarks
+
+Since these benchmarks are written in Scala, JMH auto-discovery via jar packaging doesn't work. Instead, run benchmarks via classpath:
+
+```bash
+./gradlew modules:benchmarks:run --args='de.nowchess.benchmarks.MoveBenchmark'
+```
+
+Or compile and run with explicit classpath:
+```bash
+./gradlew modules:benchmarks:compileScala
+java -cp "modules/benchmarks/build/classes/scala/main:modules/benchmarks/build/resources/main:$(./gradlew -q printClasspath)" \
+  org.openjdk.jmh.Main de.nowchess.benchmarks.MoveBenchmark
+```
+
+Adjust JMH options:
+- `-f 1` — 1 fork (faster iteration, less reliable)
+- `-i 3 -w 2` — 3 measurement iterations, 2 warmup iterations
+- `-bm avgt` — average time mode
+- `-tu us` — time unit (microseconds)
+
+Example:
+```bash
+java -cp "..." org.openjdk.jmh.Main de.nowchess.benchmarks.MoveBenchmark -f 1 -i 3 -w 2 -bm avgt
+```
+
+## Writing Benchmarks
+
+Create Scala class with `@Benchmark` methods:
+
+```scala
+@BenchmarkMode(Array(Mode.AverageTime, Mode.Throughput))
+@OutputTimeUnit(TimeUnit.MICROSECONDS)
+@State(Scope.Benchmark)
+@Fork(2)
+@Warmup(iterations = 3)
+@Measurement(iterations = 5)
+class SomeBenchmark {
+  @Setup(Level.Trial)
+  def setup(): Unit = ???
+
+  @org.openjdk.jmh.annotations.Benchmark
+  def benchmarkSomething(bh: Blackhole): Unit = {
+    val result = expensiveOperation()
+    bh.consume(result)  // Prevent dead-code elimination
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Benchmark Modes
+
+- `AverageTime` — average execution time per operation
+- `Throughput` — operations per unit time
+- `SampleTime` — latency samples (min, max, percentiles)
+- `SingleShotTime` — total time to execute N ops once
+- `All` — run all modes
+
+## Limitations
+
+JMH's Gradle plugin doesn't fully support Scala annotation processing, so benchmarks must be run explicitly by class name rather than auto-discovered. This is a known limitation of JMH + Scala; consider Java-based benchmarks for full auto-discovery support.
+
+## References
