Any plans to support distributed testing (e.g. like Tsung) or at least the ability to aggregate results once you've run it manually on multiple nodes?

Yeah, we have this issue: https://github.com/loadimpact/k6/issues/140
But you can actually aggregate results already, if you use InfluxDB as results storage: you can have multiple k6 instances push results data to the same InfluxDB instance. Results are just time series samples, so there are basically no bad effects if you do this - you get all the results in a single db, with correct time stamps. The only difficulty lies in orchestrating the multiple k6 instances so they're in sync and you get the traffic levels you want (i.e. they ramp up/down at the same time). But for a simple ramp configuration, or a config where you run at a stable traffic level, it shouldn't be a problem.

Super, thanks. Didn't realize it had InfluxDB support.
