I think it's specific to web development, in particular it tests for performance under user load.

Yes, that's it. If the C++ application exposes some service, then k6 might be the tool to test how it behaves under load now (or in the future). The only protocols we currently support are HTTP(S), WebSockets and gRPC, though we plan to add a lot of others (raw TCP/UDP, various DBs, queues, messaging, DNS, etc.) in the future, and we've recently added a way to extend the k6 functionality by writing external Go modules: - https://github.com/loadimpact/k6/blob/master/release%20notes... - https://github.com/k6io/xk6
