chaperon
An Elixir-based framework for distributed HTTP and WebSocket load testing, performance monitoring, and custom metric tracking.
What is chaperon?
Chaperon is an open-source load testing framework built in Elixir for evaluating the performance and scalability of HTTP and WebSocket services. It automates metric collection, supports custom tracking, and can distribute tests across multiple nodes to simulate high-concurrency scenarios like thousands of concurrent user sessions.
Developers and DevOps engineers who need to performance-test web services, especially those using Elixir/Erlang ecosystems or requiring distributed, high-volume load simulation.
Chaperon leverages Elixir's built-in distribution and concurrency to enable scalable, cluster-based load testing out of the box, with native support for both HTTP and WebSocket protocols and an extensible design for custom actions and metrics.
