Hello everyone,

I'm developing a Locust + Playwright script for efficient, large-scale browser-based performance testing. My focus has been on addressing the inherent complexities of browser automation in load testing-specifically, robust resource management, comprehensive metrics, and graceful error handling.

Based on my experience, including using the Locust Playwright plugin, I found that achieving the specific level of control and the desired robustness for these complex scenarios required implementing custom architectural patterns that weren't directly available or straightforward to implement using the plugin alone. This led me to develop the approach I'm presenting. While I'm not sharing the full script code at this time, I would greatly appreciate the community's feedback on the technical design choices and patterns I've used.

Below is an analysis comparing my script's approach with the official locust-plugins Playwright example. I'm particularly seeking feedback on the patterns that extend beyond typical examples, such as the custom browser pool, resource management and test flow control.

Are these considered sound approaches for integrating complex browser resources into Locust at scale, please review and share your insights.
