Introducing Bencho: A self‑hosted web app for performance testing benchmarks to make K6 more user‑friendly

Description and use

Bencho simplifies K6 performance testing by enabling quick deployment via Docker Compose and providing a web UI for test configuration and results.

Problem

• 1. Clone the Bencho repository from GitHub.
• 2. Run docker compose up -d to start the application.
• 3. Open the web interface in a browser.
• 4. Configure test parameters and launch K6 benchmarks.
• 5. View results and export reports from the UI.
