Load Testing

Now that we have a basic flask application running within docker, let's push it to the max!

Installation

1. Run pipenv sync to create your virtual enviornment and install all dependencies.
2. Run pipenv shell to activate your virtual environment.
3. Run locust --host=http://example.com where example.com points to your local docker point
4. Open locust's ui at http://localhost:8089

Running a stress test

1. Input your number of users
2. Input your hatch rate (ramp rate)
3. Hit start and watch your swarm go!

Contributions
