overload

Overload is a distributed, scalable performance testing application. It mainly focuses on ease-of-use.

Distributed - users don't need to handle complex cluster management - the application creates and manages the cluster by itself once deployed.
Control - better control over QPS, connection pool, request data
Assertion - easy assertion with lua script

For details usage and reference please check https://eipi1.github.io/overload/

Start Test

The following request will send two GET request per second("countPerSec": 2) to httpbin.org/get for 120 seconds("duration": 120). More example can be found in test cases

curl --location --request POST '{overload-host}:3030/test' \
--header 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data-raw '<json_request_body>'

Sample JSON request body -

{
  "duration": 120,
  "name": "demo-test",
  "qps": {
    "ConstantRate": {
      "countPerSec": 2
    }
  },
  "req": {
    "RequestList": {
      "data": [
        {
          "method": "GET",
          "url": "/get"
        }
      ]
    }
  },
  "target": {
    "host": "httpbin.org",
    "port": 80,
    "protocol": "HTTP"
  }
}

It'll respond with a job identifier and status.

{
  "job_id": "demo-test-d2ae5ff0-7bf4-4daf-8784-83b642d7dd6b",
  "status": "Starting"
}

We'll need the job_id if we want to stop the test later.

Get job status

curl --location --request GET '{overload-host}:3030/test/status/'

Stop a job

curl --location --request GET '{overload-host}:3030/test/stop/demo-test-d2ae5ff0-7bf4-4daf-8784-83b642d7dd6b'

Monitoring

Overload exposes details data on QPS, assertion result, etc through prometheus. For details please check here
