Apache JMeter VS Gatling

Apache JMeter: This tool is an open-source application built on Java, designed specifically to test load functionality and performance. Developed by the Apache Software Foundation, JMeter is versatile, able to simulate loads across a wide range of services and protocols such as HTTP, HTTPS, JDBC, LDAP, and SOAP. With an extensible core that can be tailored with plugins, it provides the flexibility needed for different testing scenarios. Its intuitive GUI makes it easy for testers to design test plans and visualize the results in various ways.

I'll use Apache JMeter to do this experiment:

Thanks for the tip. Hows that compare to this tool? https://jmeter.apache.org/

Apache JMeter: Download and install JMeter from the official website (https://jmeter.apache.org/). Java Development Kit (JDK): JMeter requires Java, so ensure you have the latest JDK installed on your system. Postman: Install Postman from the official website (https://www.postman.com/downloads/).

The test scenario consists of querying for descriptions of different offers. During the test, I will collect data on memory and GC parameters using jConsole. I will run the test scenario using jMeter, which additionally will allow me to measure response times.

FYI some of our people internally use Jmeter. https://jmeter.apache.org/

It's not flashy so it probably wont get the standard "we are going to milk you for data" plan

Performance and load testing are essential parts of GraphQL API testing. It ensures APIs can handle expected traffic volumes and respond within acceptable timeframes. You can use tools like Apache JMeter or Gatling to generate realistic loads and evaluate the API's performance under different scenarios. Techniques like batched queries and caching can help mitigate this issue.

Check out JMeter. Lots of learning resources, battle-tested, and plenty of plugins. Comes with a GUI IDE and can be put into a container.

Fire up a bunch of threads and have at it.

Gatling: An open-source load and performance testing tool primarily designed for web applications, Gatling utilizes a simple domain-specific language (DSL) for creating and maintaining test scripts. It supports HTTP/2 and allows recording and generation of scenarios directly from a browser. The tool also provides detailed performance reports that are easy to analyze.

New to the .NET community and trying to learn! I have used tools such as Apache JMeter (Java), gatling.io (Java) and Locust (Python) that are decent full featured web perf frameworks. Typically these integrate well with your code, and can be run as part of your unit/integration tests and produce offline reports

Gatling , this is what we tested concurrency with. Setting up might take a while depending on your exp. but the tool is solid.

I used SpringBoot 3.0.2, GraalVM 22 (JVM mode), a MacOS 2,6 GHz 6-Core Intel Core i7, running 1000 users for 5 minutes. The idea was to test how memory consumption and CPU usage evolve. Below, I compared the footprint of these three solutions. I collected the total count of requests, throughput, memory consumption, and CPU usage using VisualVM and Gatling.

Load test your code to simulate a production load (you can use tools like k6 or Gatling)

k6 is our preferred javascript based cloud tester for light webservices. gattling if you have (a monolith with) workflows and need more formalized code to prove/audit your testing.

It's read as "Ochikisu" and origin is the machine gun manufacturer Hotchkiss because this tool does not have as much firepower as the Gatling.
