Overview

Benchmarking tool for network services. Currently, limited to HTTP only (H1 or H2, over TCP or TLS). However, it's easily extendable to other protocols.

Usage

Build with cargo ``` $ cargo build --release $ ./target/release/service-benchmark help

USAGE: service-benchmark [FLAGS] [OPTIONS] --num_req [SUBCOMMAND]

FLAGS: -v, --verbose Print debug information. Not recommended for -n > 500 -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information

OPTIONS: -c, --concurrency Concurrent threads. Default 1. -n, --num_req Number of requests. -r, --rate Request rate per second. E.g. 100 or 0.1. By default no limit.

SUBCOMMANDS: help Prints this message or the help of the given subcommand(s) http Run in HTTP(S) mode

```

Help for the http command:

``` $./target/release/service-benchmark help http

USAGE: service-benchmark http [FLAGS] [OPTIONS]

ARGS: Target, e.g. https://my-service.com:8443/8kb

FLAGS: --connreuse If connections should be re-used --http2only Enforce HTTP/2 only --ignorecert Allow self signed certificates. Applies to the target (not proxy). --storecookies If cookies should be stored -h, --help Prints help information -V, --version Prints version information

OPTIONS: --tunnel HTTP Tunnel used for connection, e.g. http://my-proxy.org

```

Example:

Test an endpoint:

``` ./target/release/service-benchmark -c 4 -n 50000 \ http https://my-local-nginx.org/10kb --ignorecert --connreuse

```

via an HTTP tunnel:

./target/release/service-benchmark -c 4 -n 50000 \ http https://my-local-nginx.org/10kb \ --tunnel http://localhost:8080 --ignore_cert --conn_reuse

With a given rate of requests (1,000 RPS):

./target/release/service-benchmark -c 4 -r 1000 -n 50000 \ http https://my-local-nginx.org/10kb \ --tunnel http://localhost:8080 --ignore_cert --conn_reuse
