Maelstrom: Open-Source Stress Test Script for Your APIs

2 points

2 years ago

I just open-sourced on MIT license a new stress test tool ("Maelstrom"), that was useful to me. It’s lightweight and designed to be efficient for testing API endpoints with configurable parameters. Here are some of its key features:

Customizable Parameters: Set the number of requests, concurrency level, retry limits, and more.

Detailed Logging: Keep track of HTTP status codes and response times.

Email Notifications: Get summaries of test results via email (optional).

Graceful Shutdown: Handles interruptions smoothly.

Latency Metrics: Helps understand average latency of APIs

Graceful Shutdown: Handles interruptions smoothly.

Multi-threaded by design: Simulates multi-threaded concurrent requests to API Endpoints

Cheers! Thanks for your time :-)
