boom
boom is a tiny program that sends some load to a web application. It's similar to Apache Benchmark, but with better availability across different platforms and a less troubling installation experience.
boom is originally written by Tarek Ziade in Python and is available on tarekziade/boom. But, due to its dependency requirements and my personal annoyance of maintaining concurrent programs in Python, I decided to rewrite it in Go.
Installation
Simple as it takes to type the following command:
go get github.com/rakyll/boom
Usage
boom supports custom headers, request body and basic authentication. It runs provided number of requests in the provided concurrency level, and prints stats.
Usage: boom [options...] <url>
Options:
-n Number of requests to run.
-c Number of requests to run concurrently. Total number of requests cannot
be smaller than the concurency level.
-m HTTP method, one of GET, POST, PUT, DELETE, HEAD, OPTIONS.
-h Custom HTTP headers, name1:value1;name2:value2.
-d HTTP request body.
-t Content-type, defaults to "text/html".
-a Basic authentication, username:password.
This is what happens when you run boom:
$ boom -n 300 -c 100 http://google.com
