## What it is
Boomer is a Go library that acts as a high-performance load generator for Locust, spawning thousands of goroutines to run test code concurrently. It automatically connects to and reports results to a Locust master, whose web UI displays the test results.

## Use cases
- run locust load tests written in go
- generate high-concurrency load with goroutines
- distribute load generation across locust workers
- load test an api at scale
- replace python locust workers with faster go workers

## When to choose
- you already use locust and want go-based workers for higher throughput
- you need thousands of concurrent virtual users without python's gil limits
- you want results aggregated in locust's existing web ui

## When to avoid
- you need a standalone benchmarking tool rather than a locust-integrated library
- your team writes load tests only in python
- you don't already run a locust master

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: active
- function: benchmarking, load-testing, concurrency
- domain: testing, performance, developer-tools
- platform: go, cross-platform, cli
- tags: locust, load-generator, goroutines, zeromq, distributed-load-testing
