Pour

When it rains it pours.

A tool for a limited kind of load testing.

Not intended to measure total throughput or latency of an application. Originally used for debugging a race condition triggered by a burst of requests.

I wanted to be able to:

• send requests async at large volume
• have timings for each request, as well as ok/err information logged
• send a "setlist" of specific urls to call.

It's possible to cobble this together using linux commands and utilities. However, I wanted something a little more ergonomic.

Install

You'll need rust. See rustup.

You can install with stable.

from the github

cargo install --git https://github.com/hwchen/pour

Usage

async flag must be specified for async, currently. May become default in the future.

$ pour --async -f script.txt -n 10

$ pour --async --url https://google.com -n 10

TODO:

• make url and file options conflict
• use async client
• allow base url prefix to urls in file?
