Hammer - A Simple HTTP Load Testing Tool 🛠️🚀

Introduction

Hammer is a simple HTTP load testing tool designed to help you test the performance of your web applications. With a few configurations, you can unleash the power of goroutines and measure the response time of your server under various loads. Let's dive into how you can wield the mighty Hammer! ⚒️💻

Configuration Options 🛠️

  • Target URL (-url): The URL you want to benchmark (default: http://localhost:8000) 🌐
  • Total Requests (-r): Total number of requests to perform (default: 100) 📈
  • Concurrency (-c): Total number of goroutines to run concurrently (default: 1) 🏃
  • Timeout (-t): Request timeout in seconds (default: 20) ⏰

Getting Started 🔨

  1. Clone the Hammer repository.
  2. Run go build -o ./hammer to build the executable.
  3. Run the executable with your desired configuration.
./hammer -url=http://your-target-url.com -r=500 -c=10 -t=30

Explanation of the Code 💬

  1. Command Line Flags: Accepts various configurations via command line flags.
  2. Goroutines: Spawns goroutines to perform concurrent requests.
  3. Response Time Channel: Uses a channel to collect response times from goroutines.
  4. Calculate Results: After all goroutines finish, it calculates and displays the results.

Future Plans

  1. Add load-testing for POST, UPDATE routes as well (Currently only supporting GET request)
