wrk VS httpbeast

> My initial requirement was to send requests with unique parameters. To the best of my knowledge, no tool could do this.

wrk does this with lua. https://github.com/wg/wrk/blob/master/src/wrk.lua

Also even things like the venerable jmeter supported pulling parameters from a csv file.

We used wrk2, a fantastic tool to generate stable load on the server. Wrk2 improves on wrk and adds the ability to generate sustained load at a specific rate (-R parameter).

I am using a tool called wrk to make a bunch of requests to my website, and changing the concurrency of the requests drastically changes the result, with concurrency set to 1, I get 894 requests made in 10 seconds, and when I set concurrency to 10, I get 8549 requests. This linear scaling stops when increasing the concurrency more drastically (18805 requests for 100 and 19814 for 500 concurrency).

Im creating multithreaded async http server for learning purposes and i'm facing problem when benchmarking with wrk. I get socket read errors on every connection:

We use locust at work but I HIGHLY recommend wrk for a very robust yet simple load testing tool.

And of course, this talk by Gil Tene is fantastic if you're interested in load testing stats https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lJ8ydIuPFeU

Good morning what tool do you use to test your infra in terms of http load ? A tool that works, I tested : - https://github.com/tsenart/vegeta but it returns 0 errors or a http_net error from Golang - LOIC (Low Orbit Ion Canon) https://github.com/NewEraCracker/LOIC but the requests do not appear in my nginx logs and I feel no slowdown - Apache Jmeter https://jmeter.apache.org/ but I can't drop my infra and I have Java socket closed errors - K6 https://k6.io/ but I can't bring down my infra with - wrk https://github.com/wg/wrk no matter what parameter I put it doesn't make enough requests per second, I put the same parameters as on a tutorial and I don't get the same result...

You could try to just blast it with wrk or bombardier. Can easily get around 50k requests on consumer machine.

Sure, first I did the load testing on the same machine. The same machine ran web servers, php-fpm and ab / wrk programs.

There are http benchmarking tools like wrk [0]. You don't need a ddos service for that.

Thank you to the author for writing this.

Entitlement in open source is a massive problem, I have experienced it first-hand many times. The problem is that it discourages contributions not only from the existing maintainers but also from people who may volunteer to fix issues in the future. Would you be willing to contribute if most of the issues are just asking for things (often rudely) and not even saying thanks when an issue is resolved?

Unfortunately I have seen far worse examples than the one linked in the article[1]. I would encourage people to not only think twice before acting this way but to also call out people that are acting entitled in open source to discourage such actions.
