Open Source Rust Load Testing Tools

Drill is an HTTP load-testing application written in Rust. The main goal for this project is to build a really lightweight tool as an alternative to other that require JVM and other stuff. You can write benchmark files, in YAML format, describing all the stuff you want to test. It was inspired by Ansible syntax because it is really easy to use and extend. As you can see, you can play with interpolations in different ways. This will let you specify a benchmark with different requests and dependencies between them. Right now, the easiest way to get drill is to go to the latest release page and download the binary file for your platform. OpenSSL is needed in order to compile Drill, whether it is through cargo install or when compiling from source with cargo build.

Winrk is a modern high-performance HTTP benchmarking tool for Windows. Inspired by the popular wrk utility, Winrk provides similar capabilities but is fully compatible with the Windows platform, making it ideal for developers and testers who need to stress-test web servers without relying on Linux or WSL. Written in Rust, Winrk leverages native multithreading and asynchronous networking to generate a high number of requests per second with minimal overhead. It is easy to use, fast to deploy, and built with stability and precision in mind. Whether you're testing local services or public APIs, Winrk helps you analyze performance, latency, and throughput under load, right from the Windows command line.
