# Awesome Performance

A collection of videos, talks and tools about performance engineering and testing.



From Wikipedia, [performance testing](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_performance_testing) is in general a testing practice performed to determine how a system performs in terms of responsiveness and stability under a particular workload. It can also serve to investigate, measure, validate or verify other quality attributes of the system, such as scalability, reliability and resource usage.



Contributions are always welcome!

## Load Testing Tools



### JVM

- [gatling](http://gatling.io) – highly configurable performance testing framework in scala, support multiple static/dynamic scenarios and html5/csv outputs

- [jmeter](http://jmeter.apache.org/) – Apache JMeter™, complete performance test suite with support for dynamic scenarios and various plugins



### Go

- [bombardier](https://github.com/codesenberg/bombardier) – benchmarking tool using `fasthttp` 

- [fasthttploader](https://github.com/hagen1778/fasthttploader) – simple benchmarking tool with basic charting 

- [goad](https://github.com/gophergala2016/goad) – AWS Lambda powered distributed load testing tool, good for multi-region testing

- [gobench](https://github.com/cmpxchg16/gobench) – HTTP/HTTPS load testing and benchmarking tool, lacks configuration

- [hey](https://github.com/rakyll/hey) – configurable load generator and load test tool, currently only output csv

- [slow_cooker](https://github.com/BuoyantIO/slow_cooker) – load tester focused on lifecycle issues and long-running tests with periodic reports

- [sniper](https://github.com/lubia/sniper) – high-performance http load tester supports large files, support html5 reports

- [vegeta](https://github.com/tsenart/vegeta) – configurable HTTP load testing tool, can also be used as a library for dynamic scenarios, good outputs.



### C

- [ab](http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.4/programs/ab.html) - the og of benchmarking tools, slow and single threaded

- [apib](https://github.com/apigee/apib) - extension of `ab` with fewer dependencies and non-blocking IO for concurrency

- [curl-loader](http://curl-loader.sourceforge.net/) -  

- [httpref](https://github.com/httperf/httperf) - 

- [weighttp](http://redmine.lighttpd.net/projects/weighttp/wiki) - lightweight benchmarking tool, only support a small fraction of HTTP protocol

- [wrk2](https://github.com/giltene/wrk2) - based on original `wrk` by Gil Tene, enhanced to be resistant to coordinated omission problem.



### Other

- [yandex-tank](https://github.com/yandex/yandex-tank) (python) - extensible load testing tool, uses yandex's own `phantom` engine in the background, capable of generating ~100000 tps.

- [locust.io](https://locust.io) (python) - configurable load testing tool, can define user behaviour and run across multiple machines or kubernetes cluster

- [artillery](https://artillery.io) (nodejs) - highly configurable load and functional testing toolkit, allows dynamic scenarios and can ship metrics to external monitoring systems

- [tsung](http://tsung.erlang-projects.org) (erlang) - distributed load testing tool, can simulate hundreds of users from single machine or distribute them on clusters

- [postman/newman](https://learning.getpostman.com/docs/postman/collection_runs/command_line_integration_with_newman/) - using `newman` cli as a postman collection runner

 

## Load Testing Platforms

- [BlazeMeter](https://www.blazemeter.com) - scalable, open source-based performance tests against web apps and services, support multiple performance script jMeter, Gatling etc...

- [Gatling Frontline](https://gatling.io/gatling-frontline/) - enterprise version of gatling.

- [Artillery Pro](http://artillery.io/pro/) - load test tool deployed to your AWS account, allows distributed load testing

- [flood.io](https://flood.io/load-performance-testing-tool/) - platform to execute load tests in the cloud, highly scalable, supports selenium, jmeter and gatling scripts.
