WorkOS
The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.
Most benchmarks of non-relational databases are done with either product-specific tooling (like cassandra-stress), or with YCSB, which gives you a lowest-common-denominator key-value workload across dozens of systems.
Jonathan Shook created NoSQLBench to be a cross-platform performance testing tool that is easier to use than cassandra-stress and (much) more powerful than YCSB; in fact, its scripting layer is powerful enough to support things that no other testing tool can enable, with particular emphasis on modeling complex workloads with fidelity, as well as simulating realistic scenarios such as load spikes. As its name suggests, NoSQLBench is not Cassandra-specific and encourages participation from all who want to contribute; today there are clients for Cassandra, CockroachDB, JDBC, and MongoDB, as well as non-database products Kafka and Pulsar. If you’re serious about performance testing in 2021, you should check out NoSQLBench. You can get started at GitHub. Other useful links: releases, discord, docs.
