New features
Core
- Custom metric names are now limited to 1024 characters #3637
AWS ECS/Fargate
- Add new
--no-assign-public-ipflag to disable automatic assignment of public IPs to worker tasks. This allows for load tests to run from private subnets with a NAT gateway attached for use-cases where traffic has to come from a set of known IPs. #3643
Azure ACI
- Azure load testing is now available on all subscriptions, including month-to-month ones. Previously only annual subscriptions could use the Azure integration.
Load testing with Playwright
- Upgrade to Playwright v1.56.1
- FID (First Input Delay) scores are no longer reported. FID has been deprecated as a Core Web Vital metric on September 9, 2024, and replaced by INP (Interaction To Next Paint). https://web.dev/articles/fid
