k6 with a fixed number of virtual users, 61 to 63 s per level, after a 23 s warmup. The error rate counts responses that weren't a 200. Discourse ran with 4 app workers and 1024 MB of Postgres shared buffers, what its installer picks for a 4 GB box. It added a 2 GB swapfile first, the way its installer does, and didn't need it. The container peaked at 2,087 MB.
