k6 with a fixed number of virtual users, 60 to 62 s per level, after a 22 s warmup. The error rate counts responses that weren't a 200. Discourse ran with 4 app workers and 3072 MB of Postgres shared buffers, what its installer picks for a 12 GB box. Its installer adds no swap on a box this big. The container peaked at 1,797 MB.

k6 with a fixed number of virtual users, 60 to 62 s per level, after a 20 s warmup. The error rate counts responses that weren't a 200. Wagtail ran the way bakerydemo ships it: uWSGI with 2 workers of 4 threads each, whatever the box, and Postgres and Redis on stock settings. Memory peaked with Wagtail at 292 MB, Postgres at 152 MB, and Redis at 25 MB.
