STRADEN.SELF-HOSTED LOAD TESTING WITH AI AGENTS.

Straden is a self-hosted platform on top of k6. Instead of running scripts from a terminal, your team gets projects and tests in a web UI, AI agents that write and fix k6 scripts, live run monitoring, run history in InfluxDB and AI-generated performance reports.

Download compose.yaml from the repository and run `docker compose up -d`, then open http://localhost:8000 and create the admin account. One image (ghcr.io/kwasii1/straden) runs the app, websocket server, runner and scheduler alongside PostgreSQL, Redis and InfluxDB.

Bring your own key for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Azure OpenAI, Bedrock, Mistral, Groq, DeepSeek, xAI, OpenRouter, any OpenAI-compatible endpoint, or a local Ollama model. Keys are stored encrypted on your instance.

Yes. Scripts are plain k6 JavaScript folders with a script.js entry point. Write them in the built-in editor, or let the Test and Script agents draft and edit them — file writes always need your approval.

The k6 summary and thresholds, InfluxDB time-series, the raw k6 log, your script, repositories synced from GitHub, GitLab, Bitbucket or Azure DevOps, and metrics from Prometheus, PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB and Redis connectors.

Yes. Straden has a built-in MCP server at /mcp. Create an API token under Settings and connect Claude Code, Cursor or any MCP client to create scripts, start runs and read results.

Straden is in active open-source development. Pin STRADEN_VERSION to a release tag rather than latest, back up the storage volume (it holds your secrets) and run it on a different machine from the system under test.
