Unleash a horde of web requests to test if your servers can handle the load.

Horde

Horde is a utility program for making testing web applications at scale à la Bees With Machine Guns.

Requirements

In order to control the Horde you will need:

  • The Horde Executable
  • Erlang
  • An AWS account

WARNING

"With great power comes great responsibilty."

The Horde is, more-or-less, a distributed denial-of-service attack in a fancy package. If you point the Horde at any server you don’t own you are behaving unethically. You will have your Amazon Web Services account locked-out, and you will be liable in a court of law for any downtime you cause.

You have been warned!
