wrk2-with-online-script

Docker image containing the HTTP benchmaring tool wrk2 with support for online Lua scripts.

Example usage

docker run --rm -it -e "TARGET_URL=https://www.google.com" -e "WRK_HEADER=User-Agent: wrk" -e "SCRIPT_URL=https://<SERVER_URL>/script.lua" -e "WRK_OPTIONS=-t2 -c100 -d30s -R2000 --latency" syedhassaanahmed/wrk2-with-online-script

The above runs a benchmark for 30 seconds, using 2 threads, keeping 100 HTTP connections open, and a constant throughput of ~2000 requests per second (total, across all connections combined).

Here are some example Lua scripts for generating custom requests.
