Bombardier is a fast cross-platform HTTP(S) benchmarking tool written in Go, built on fasthttp with an optional net/http client for HTTP/2.x support. It measures requests per second, latency distributions, and throughput against target URLs.

Use cases

• load test an HTTP endpoint with configurable concurrency
• measure requests per second and latency of a web server
• benchmark HTTP/2 services
• get latency percentile distributions for an API
• stress test a server before production deployment
• compare throughput of different web frameworks

When to choose

• you need a fast, single-binary CLI load tester across Linux, macOS, and Windows
• you want detailed latency distribution and throughput statistics
• you need very high request rates via fasthttp

When to avoid

• you need complex scripted scenarios or multi-step user flows (use k6 or Locust)
• you need to set a custom Host header with the fasthttp client
• you need distributed load generation from multiple machines
