k6 with a fixed number of virtual users, 60 to 61 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 256 MB of Postgres shared buffers, what its installer picks for a 2 GB box. It added a 2 GB swapfile first, the way its installer does, and used up to 722 MB of it. The container peaked at 1,455 MB.
