In this Postman load testing tutorial, you’ll learn how to run a large scale load test in Kubernetes using your existing Postman collections.

In this post, we’ll discuss two functions in the Cribl Stream arsenal: The Aggregations function, which allows you to perform stats and metrics collection in flight, and the Chain function allows you to call one Pipeline from within another. The event flow will continue when the Chained Pipeline returns. To demonstrate their use, we’ll answer this question: How long did it take for Cribl to process events using your pipeline?

Enterprises have always had more money to spend on IT than small-and-medium businesses (SMBs). This has traditionally resulted in a disparity in the technology and services available to each.

While there are still some differences between enterprise IT management and SMB IT management, the two are becoming more similar.
