# TIKU API performance scenarios Run the API against a prepared PostgreSQL database, then execute: ```bash TIKU_BASE_URL=http://localhost:5000 \ TIKU_TENANT_CODE= \ TIKU_ACCESS_TOKEN= \ k6 run tools/performance/tiku-api.js ``` Do not store access tokens or database credentials in this directory. The default threshold is only a smoke gate; release comparison uses the same dataset and environment before and after a change, and requires at least a 50% p95 improvement for the targeted endpoint.
