Narrative analysis
- Artillery vs k6
  - k6 has stronger mindshare (more OSS adoption signals in third-party trackers) and is tightly coupled with Grafana Cloud.
  - Artillery differentiates with its YAML scenario format and its Playwright reuse approach combined with Artillery Cloud reporting.
- Artillery vs JMeter
  - Community sentiment in developer/QA forums often prefers modern code-centric tools (k6/Artillery) over starting new JMeter projects, though JMeter remains common in large enterprises.
- Artillery vs Loader.io
  - Loader.io is positioned as simpler hosted load generation, but less flexible for complex scenario scripting compared to Artillery.
