Pull Request Overview
Adds a new GitHub Actions workflow to run EVM load tests against a Kubernetes cluster using a custom self-hosted runner and Nix for environment management.
- Introduces
.github/workflows/load-tests.yamlfor on-demand load testing viaworkflow_dispatch - Configures dependencies (apt, Go, Nix) inside a container and checks out full repository history
- Executes Go-based load tests with a Nix-powered shell
Comments suppressed due to low confidence (1)
.github/workflows/load-tests.yaml:32
- Enhance robustness by prepending the script with
set -euo pipefailso the job fails fast on any command error or undefined variable within the shell step.
shell: nix develop --command bash -x {0}

(No action required) Are you intending to add these inputs before merge? If not, maybe remove this line.

Added duration, node count should be merged soon so this is fine to stay I think.

Why this should be merged
Enables CI execution on platform-chaos-k8s addressing three critical EVM performance testing requirements:
This foundation supports the EVM performance testing initiative and future regression analysis capabilities.
How this works
GitHub workflows can now leverage platform-chaos-k8s infrastructure for EVM load testing. Workflows automatically provision test environments. This provides a self-service testing environment without requiring direct cluster access or manual infrastructure setup.
How this was tested
Need to be documented in RELEASES.md?
