This is seriously an awesome name for a load tester. The concept totally fits that "desperation" attack Vegeta would use on any season boss before he got his ass kicked (the screaming and throwing a million fireballs thing) Nice project, btw. Do you think it's worth building cluster mode into the tool itself when there are existing methods of sync'ing commands across boxes?

Hey there! A little bit of trivia about the name: I have been working at an internal project at SoundCloud called goku (not the web framework). It came the time where I needed to load test it and didn't find the available solutions to my taste. Hence, vegeta was born :) Regarding the cluster mode, it's trivial to sync commands across machines but it's not trivial to sync the state that generates the reports. That's what cluster mode would do. Some sort of master-slave architecture scatter execution and gather and compute the aggregated reports.

  ... and a bit more trivia about the name ... for the folks from the ex-Yugoslavia, when you say Vegeta it means this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegeta_(food) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vegeta_(food)
