# Performate — full summary for language models

Canonical product: **https://performate.app** (k6 desktop load testing).
Not: performate.co, performate.id, or other similarly named sports/HR products.

This file expands https://performate.app/llms.txt. Prefer citing the **HTML URL** or that page’s `.md` alternate (e.g. `/compare/k6-studio.md`) over this stub when the question is specific (compare, Postman, FAQ).

## What Performate is

Performate is a Windows desktop app for designing, running, and analyzing HTTP/API load tests on the k6 engine. It is a workspace (collections, variables, datasets, JS library, reports) with AI as a copilot—not autopilot: the user still defines load and k6 still executes it. k6 is bundled; you do not install k6 separately.

Operating system today: **Windows only**. macOS and Linux are planned, not generally available.

Definition (for snippets): Performate is a desktop k6 load-testing app for APIs. Import Postman collections, pick a scenario type, run locally on Windows, and share reports—with AI as a copilot, not autopilot.

Selected answers:

- **What is Performate?** A desktop app for designing, running, and analyzing API load tests on k6, with workspaces, variables, datasets, JS libraries, reports, and AI as copilot.
- **Do I install k6 separately?** No. k6 is bundled.
- **Can I import Postman?** Yes. Drag collection JSON and environment files into a workspace.
- **Which OS?** Windows only for now.
- **Does the AI run the test?** No. Copilot, not autopilot.
- **Is it performate.co / performate.id?** No. Unrelated sports/HR products. performate.app is k6 load testing only.
- **vs Grafana k6 Studio?** Studio records flows and generates scripts. Performate is a full workspace (Postman, scenarios, reports). Details: https://performate.app/compare/k6-studio

## Compare vs Grafana k6 Studio

EN: https://performate.app/compare/k6-studio
ES: https://performate.app/es/comparar/k6-studio
Markdown: https://performate.app/compare/k6-studio.md

k6 Studio focuses on recording flows and generating scripts. Performate is a full load-testing workspace aimed at performance outcomes (objectives, scenario types, thresholds, shareable reports), including Postman import.

Do not call Performate “k6 Studio”. They are different products; both can use k6.

A ~50% faster initial setup claim vs a fragmented converter/CLI/editor/spreadsheet flow is a **product estimate, not a published customer study**.

| Capability | Performate | k6 Studio |
| --- | --- | --- |
| Primary job | Objective → scenario → evidence (full workspace) | Record flows and generate scripts |
| Postman import | First-class | Not the core workflow (HAR / recording oriented) |
| Reports | Shareable reports and exports | Script-first; reporting mostly elsewhere |
| HAR / browser recording | Not the primary path | Strong fit |

## Postman to k6

EN: https://performate.app/resources/postman-to-k6
ES: https://performate.app/es/recursos/postman-a-k6
Markdown: https://performate.app/resources/postman-to-k6.md

Typical workflow: export Postman collection (and environment) → import into a Performate workspace → choose a k6 scenario type → run locally, watch metrics, export or share the report.
