Descrizione

grafana/xk6-output-prometheus-remote#49 is going to replace the current golang/protobuf with gogo/protobuf so it aligns with the library currently used by Prometheus. gogo has a good reputation for performance efficiency, but unfortunately, it has been deprecated so it would be better to switch to a more reliable library. planetscale/vtprotobuf could be a good alternative.

Benchmarks and tests should be added for a good comparison.

Investigate the current usage of golang/protobuf in the k6 codebase, likely in the output package for prometheus remote write. Review the linked PR grafana/xk6 output prometheus remote#49 to understand the replacement with gogo/protobuf. Then, explore planetscale/vtprotobuf as an alternative, and design benchmarks to compare performance. The implementation would involve modifying Go source files, likely in the output/prometheus directory.
