k6 with a fixed number of virtual users, 60 to 62 s per level, after a 21 s warmup. The error rate counts responses that weren't a 200. Discourse ran with 4 app workers and 768 MB of Postgres shared buffers, what its installer picks for a 3 GB box. It added a 2 GB swapfile first, the way its installer does, and didn't need it. The container peaked at 2,132 MB.
