Fortio
Fortio load testing library, command line tool, advanced echo server
Fortio (Φορτίο) started as, and is, Istio’s load testing tool and later (2018) graduated to be its own open-source project. Fortio runs at a specified query per second (qps) and records an histogram of execution time and calculates percentiles (e.g. p99 ie the response time such as 99% of the requests take less than that number (in seconds, SI unit)). It can run for a set duration, for a fixed number of calls, or until interrupted (at a constant target QPS, or max speed/load per connection/thread). Fortio is a fast, small (4Mb docker image, minimal dependencies), reusable, embeddable go library as well as a command line tool and server process, the server includes a simple web UI and REST API to trigger run and see graphical representation of the results (both a single latency graph and a multiple results comparative min, max, avg, qps and percentiles graphs). -

Vegeta
HTTP load testing tool and library. It's over 9000!
Vegeta is a versatile HTTP load testing tool built out of a need to drill HTTP services with a constant request rate. It can be used both as a command line utility and a library. You can install Vegeta using the Homebrew package manager on Mac OS X. Both the library and the CLI are versioned with SemVer v2.0.0. After v8.0.0, the two components are versioned separately to better isolate breaking changes to each. CLI releases are tagged with cli/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and published on the Github releases page. As for the library, new versions are tagged with both lib/vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH and vMAJOR.MINOR.PATCH. The latter tag is required for compatibility with go mod. The JSON format makes integration with programs that produce targets dynamically easier. Each target is one JSON object in its own line. The method and url fields are required. If present, the body field must be base64 encoded. The generated JSON Schema defines the format in detail. -

Locust
Scalable open source load testing tool
Locust is an open source user load testing tool written in Python. The idea behind Locust is to swarm your web site or other systems with attacks from simulated users during a test, with each user behavior defined by you using Python code. This swarming process is then monitored from a web UI in real-time, and will help identify any bottlenecks in your code before real users can come in. As it is completely event-based, Locust can have thousands or even millions of simultaneous users distributed over multiple machines swarming your system. Unlike other event-based apps, it doesn’t use callbacks but uses lightweight processes instead, so you can write very expressive scenarios in Python without complicating it with callbacks. -

Ddosify
High-performance load testing tool, written in Golang
vLoad tests should be done regularly to avoid being caught unprepared. Find out the maximum service capacity of your web system. Start the test either instantly or for a future date. Define your periodic load tests. Without load tests, businesses understand the load capacity of their systems when they become inaccessible during campaign times such as Black Friday or Cyber Monday. Determine the origins of requests and the test duration with our easy-to-use web interfaces. Review past load tests and general performance from our reports and charts. Adjust the origin of the requests from 100+ locations. Existing solutions are costly and limited. So we’ve developed a brand-new load generator. Customize your tests with scenarios on UI. Without a line of code! Insightful reports and charts to improve your service capability. -

Drill
Drill is an HTTP load testing application written in Rust
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.
