Description

Load tests are currently being run in the contrib repo only, but there are a few important test cases that cover core components only. They trigger only when we upgrade core dependencies in the contrib repo, which happens not that often. We need to find a way to run load tests covering core components on every PR in the core, hopefully not introducing significant delay to the overall CI time.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Investigate existing load testing tools (e.g., k6) and propose integration into the CI pipeline for core components, considering minimal time overhead.
