Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
As a user that wants to run performance tests on my pipeline configuration, setting up performance testing is a tedious manual process.

As a developer that wants to test the performance of a new plugin that I have created, setting up and running the performance tests is a tedious manual process.

Describe the solution you'd like

  • Automate the deployment of the performance testing environment (data prepper installation, gatling, prometheus, grafana) so that anyone can deploy a separate instance of this environment with a couple simple commands (this means multiple users could run their performance tests independently and in parallel)
  • After the environment is deployed, make it easy to run the performance test suites with different Data Prepper configurations. Ideally, this should be as simple as editing the configuration, and the clicking "Run Tests".
  • Running performance tests should only cost resources when tests are actually being run (just deploying the environment doesn't cost money, and after a test is being run no billing is done)

Describe alternatives you've considered (Optional)
A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered.

Research direction

No files, tests, or entry points are named. Start by mapping how Data Prepper performance tests and their deployment are currently run, including the proposed Gatling, Prometheus, and Grafana environment. Done should cover repeatable environment deployment, configurable test runs, independent parallel instances, and no resource cost outside test execution.
