+## Load Test
+
+This application was load tested using K6. To run the load test follow the installation documentation for K6 [here](https://k6.io/docs/getting-started/installation/). Once installed, make sure Supermarket-API is running and initiate the load test by running:
+
+```
+$~ k6 run loadtests/load-test.js
+```
+
+The load test is configured to ramp up to 50 iterations per second over a 4 minute period and then maintain that load for a period of 1 minute. Each iteration adds a new unique produce item, and then queries all items catalogued in the service.
+
+Load test results below:
