Load testing of REST APIs

General Usage Performance

Hello,

I would like to ask whether there is some package / effort providing load testing functionalities for REST APIs. We currently consider using jMeter but I wanted to check whether there is something I might not be aware of in Julia eco-system.

I am aware of BenchmarkTools.jl which we use to benchmark internals of our code but I assume this package is not meant to load test REST APIs.

Thanks!

ab i.e. apache benchmark should be ok. You can provide also various http parameters and load data to put into requests from files. Its pretty well documented and there are scores of examples online

I would recommend to use JMeter:

It is possible to integrate it to pipeline in GitLab, DevOps and so on.
