Ask HN: How do you load test?
2 points by mlevental on March 27, 2018 | hide | past | favorite | 4 comments
Took a look at blazemeter but it's too expensive for how many tests you can run per billing cycle. Are there open source solutions that'll hook up to my aws account and spin-up instances in order to load test my api for example?



This isn't my area of expertise, but I think Gatling would serve your purposes.


interesting but this is basically for executing many concurrent requests from a single source? i guess i don't know if it matters really that load should simulate truly distinct users (at the least to check ip throttling works correctly).


Blazemeter now give 1000 API tests free a month. That might help?


Check out Jmeter
