I am under the impression that it's possible to compile Wrk for Windows [1], although I have not personally done so. Incidentally, I've not read the linked article, but skimmed the first few paragraphs. The numbers of requests per second that he was able to generate with various tools seem remarkably low. ApacheBench is the least performant load generator since it's only single-threaded, but it can generate tens of thousands (about 25,000) requests per second on a i7 desktop machine. Wrk can generate significantly more since it uses all CPU cores of the load-generation machine. [1] https://github.com/wg/wrk/issues/49 https://github.com/wg/wrk/issues/49
