A tool to send load to a server.
This is accomplished by sending as many requests as possible to a server in a given time period.
You probably don't want to target a host on the internet or use a metered connection with this :)
cargo install --git https://github.com/wcygan/load-generatorA tool to load test a server
Usage: ldg [OPTIONS] --url <URL>
Options:
-u, --url <URL> The URL to send requests to
-c, --connections <CONNECTIONS> The number of connections to use [default: 8]
-t, --time <TIME> The amount of seconds to run the test for. If not specified, the test will run until an interrupt signal is received
-h, --help Print help
In this example we'll target a local server running on port 3000 with 2 connections for 5 seconds.
Running Axum Hello Server locally & aiming this tool at it yields around 1M - 2M QPS.
ldg --url 0.0.0.0:3000 --connections 4 --time 2
On a MacBook Pro M1 Max this is running at approximately 1898470.07 requests per second.
