I was just about to start looking into some http load testing tools, so I am glad to see this come up. Do people recommend this tool? What are some competitors? Can you produce enough load from your average laptop to effectively load test a web server?
- bkeroack 11y agoI've used wrk[1] which is quite nice. My local macbook was able to completely saturate the service with ~20k req/sec. 1. https://github.com/wg/wrk https://github.com/wg/wrk
- placeybordeaux 11y agoI've used both wrk and vegeta. wrk is a bit more flexible/mature, but vegeta has a somewhat nice interface and can be called as a library if you write go. Both can be used to max out whatever your most limiting resource is.
- caleblloyd 11y agoI recommend Vegeta. It's super easy to configure and you can install it with a single binary. You can produce as much load as your Open File Descriptor limit, CPU/Memory, or Network pipe can handle using a single instance of this program.
