Pewpew
A flexible command-line HTTP stress tester that can hit multiple targets with multiple configurations to simulate real-world load.
What is Pewpew?
Pewpew is a flexible command-line HTTP stress tester designed to evaluate the performance and resilience of websites and web services. It can simulate real-world load by hitting multiple targets with different configurations, bypassing caches, and providing detailed statistics. The tool offers two modes: stress testing for maximum load capacity and benchmark testing for controlled rate-based analysis.
Developers, DevOps engineers, and performance testers who need to assess web service scalability, latency, and error handling under various load conditions.
Pewpew stands out for its ability to test multiple targets simultaneously with regex-generated URLs and extensive configuration options, all in a dependency-free binary. It provides realistic load simulation and detailed metrics, making it a versatile alternative to simpler stress testers.
