DDosify: https://github.com/ddosify/ddosify

We are thrilled to announce the release of Ddosify Self-Hosted on GitHub today. Unlike the Ddosify Engine, this version features a No-code UI and supports distributed traffic generation.

Ddosify is built with ease of use and flexibility in mind, and it supports popular web protocols. It allows you to define and customize test scenarios, generate realistic loads, and monitor performance metrics in real time.

We have organized this write-up into two parts to demonstrate two different features of Ddosify. In the first part, we will perform a load test on a GET endpoint that accepts base and target currency and returns their exchange rate of them. The rand() utility method is used to send different currencies on each request. In the second part, we will test a POST endpoint that performs exchange operations. We will use a CSV file that contains test data stored on our Test App's Database. Then we import this CSV file into Ddosify to replay the same transactions stored on DB, but in high concurrency. In both parts, we will gain insights into the reliability of our exchange API across high traffic.

I'm assuming this breaks a ton more than just my project (https://github.com/locustio/locust/actions/runs/4687344723/jobs/8315803536)

If, like me, AGPL isn't your cup of tea, you can look at vegeta or locust which are both MIT.

locust if you can code

Agreed with a lot of the points here, like starting small with a single piece of your API, then slowly expanding your tests once you’re comfortable that you know what you’re doing.

Note that if you use the Locust framework to write your load tests in Python, it takes care of measuring and reporting the latency and throughput for you. It’s really nice.

For my application, to tune these parameters I used a load testing tool. I built a script using Locust.
