salvo 0.2

Simple HTTP Load tester

Apache Bench replacement===== Salvo =====

This is the replacement for https://github.com/tarekziade/boom

Salvo is a simple command line tool to send some load to an HTTP(S) endpoint.

Salvo is a script you can use to quickly smoke-test your web app deployment. If you need a more complex tool, I’d suggest looking at Molotov

Salvo was specifically written to replace my Apache Bench (ab) usage. Salvo is based on Molotov, which uses Python 3 asyncio & aiohttp.

Installation

Salvo requires Python 3.6+ and Molotov, which gets installed as a dependency.

Just do:

$ pip install salvo

Basic usage

Basic usage example: 100 queries with a maximum concurrency of 10 users:

% salvo http://localhost:80 -c 10 -n 100
