Agent

The go-lo Agent exposes a set of gRPC endpoints designed to run go-lo Loadtests, as created with go-lo/go-lo, which are packed into containers.

The agent takes a schedule which looks like:

version: job:latest
schema:
    name: "my loadtest"
    users: 1024
    duration: 900
    container: somecontainer:latest

It will then enqueue this job- only one job is run at a time; multiple running jobs can affect results by creating agent network contention.

When running a job, an agent will:

1. Run the container, exposing the job's gRPC server
2. Try to connect to the job container, following an exponential backoff strategy
3. Create a pool of 1024 users, each of which will trigger a job run every second
4. After 900 seconds have elapsed, close the user pool, and kill the container
5. Wait for another job to schedule
