hey is a tiny program that sends some load to a web application. hey was originally called boom and was influenced from Tarek Ziade's tool at tarekziade/boom. Using the same name was a mistake as it resulted in cases where binary name conflicts created confusion. To preserve the name for its original owner, we renamed this project to hey. hey runs provided number of requests in the provided concurrency level and prints stats. It also supports HTTP2 endpoints. It’s simple, efficient, performant, powerful, and was designed as a more modern alternative to Apache’s AB. Why ever look elsewhere one may ask? Well the answer for me is that the summary output, whilst very cool, is a little too simplistic for my use-case.
Features
- "n" is the number of requests to run, default is 200
- "c" is the number of workers to run concurrently, total number of requests cannot be smaller than the concurrency level
- "q" is the rate limit, in queries per second (QPS) per worker, default is no rate limit
- "z" is the duration of application to send requests
- "o" is the output type, If none provided, a summary is printed
- "H" is the custom HTTP header, you can specify as many as needed by repeating the flag
