Deploying with Dokploy, Part 2: load testing against real usage

Does it actually hold up under real traffic?

Dokploy has a built-in Monitoring tab, CPU, memory, and other resource usage per service, in real time. Rather than just trust it, I wanted to actually watch those numbers move under load.

I used k6 to load test the app, and kept the Monitoring tab open in another window while it ran, watching CPU and memory usage climb live as traffic ramped up.
