loadtest
A Node.js load testing tool for HTTP and WebSocket URLs with configurable requests, concurrency, and rate limiting.
What is loadtest?
Loadtest is a Node.js command-line tool and API for load testing HTTP and WebSocket servers. It simulates concurrent user traffic with configurable request rates, concurrency levels, and custom headers to measure server performance under stress. It helps developers identify bottlenecks and ensure their applications can handle expected loads.
Backend developers, DevOps engineers, and QA testers who need to performance-test web servers, APIs, or WebSocket services during development or before deployment.
Loadtest offers a balance of Apache ab compatibility and advanced features like requests-per-second control, multi-core support, and programmatic API integration. Its ability to simulate sustained traffic patterns and provide detailed latency percentiles makes it a practical choice for continuous performance validation.
Overview
Runs a load test on the selected URL. Fast and easy to use. Can be integrated in your own workflow using the API.
