Description
Most web performance issues don't show up at one user... they show up at hundreds or thousands of users. Loadster is a cloud platform for simulating that kind of traffic and then seeing how your web application responds to it.
Loadster has Browser Bots and Playwright for real browser testing, or Protocol Bots for lightweight HTTP protocol testing. Load test scenarios mix bot types, ramp populations up over time, and run load tests with hundreds or thousands of concurrent bots from cloud regions of your choice.
The built-in reporting covers response time distributions, error rates, page-rendering metrics, and detailed traces about individual user journeys.
Loadster also has built-in 24/7 site and API monitoring. Loadster monitoring reuses the exact same scripts as synthetic checks running 24/7 from selected regions, with alerting through Slack, PagerDuty, SMS, or voice robocall whenever something goes wrong. Maintenance windows mute monitors during planned work so on-call pagers don't fire for non-events.
The free tier is 50 units of Loadster Fuel with no credit card required (enough to run a few load tests or maybe several weeks/months of monitoring). Usage scales from one-off load tests up to continuous testing and monitoring plans.
Description
Load testing is easier for developers. Open source load testing tool and SaaS platform for engineering teams. The k6 API, CLI and other tools are flexible and powerful. Javascript allows you to create tests that simulate real-world scenarios. Automate your tests to make sure your infrastructure and application are always running smoothly. To test the health and availability of your services, you can add SLOs to your k6 script. Our browser recorder and converters (JMeter Postman, Swagger) make it easier to create tests. You will find extensive documentation, great community, and first-class support. No XML. No DSL. Only familiar scripting with ES6 JS.
