## What it is
A curated awesome-list of HTTP(S) benchmarking, load testing, and REST API testing/debugging tools. It catalogs tools like ab, wrk, autocannon, and gatling with brief descriptions and implementation languages.

## Use cases
- find a tool to load test my http server
- compare http benchmarking tools like wrk and ab
- pick a load testing tool for rest api
- find http2 or http3 benchmarking utilities
- discover tools to measure api latency and throughput
- find load testing tools for ci/cd pipelines

## When to choose
- you want to discover and compare HTTP load testing and benchmarking tools
- you need a starting point for picking a REST API testing or debugging tool
- you want a maintained reference of tools by language and platform

## When to avoid
- you need an actual benchmarking tool rather than a list of them
- you need in-depth tutorials or benchmarks of the listed tools
- you need non-HTTP protocol load testing coverage
