Vegeta: HTTP load testing in Go
summary
Vegeta, an HTTP load tester written in Go, generates constant load generation and scales across machines by writing per-worker results to disk and aggregating them for analysis. A demo runs 1000 requests per second for 10 seconds. Emphasis is on measuring higher percentiles and maximums instead of averages, isolating individual endpoints, testing in production with gradual ramps, and validating expectations; used in production at SoundCloud Heroku NPR BBC and the UK government.
