Gatling is an open-source, code-first load testing tool and performance engineering platform. It uses a fully asynchronous, non-blocking architecture to simulate thousands of concurrent virtual users, with tests defined as code in Java, Scala, Kotlin, JavaScript, or TypeScript.
Use cases
- load test an HTTP API with thousands of concurrent users
- run performance tests as code in CI/CD pipelines
- detect performance regressions before releases
- simulate WebSocket, gRPC, JMS, or MQTT traffic under load
- generate load without maintaining large injection server farms
- version performance tests alongside application code
- validate SLOs and performance objectives automatically
When to choose
- you want expressive test-as-code SDKs instead of GUI or XML-based tools
- you need high load generation efficiency from a single node via non-blocking IO
- you want load tests integrated into version control and CI/CD
- you need protocol support beyond HTTP, such as WebSocket, gRPC, JMS, or MQTT
When to avoid
- you need real-time dashboards, distributed load injection, or historical trend analysis without paying for the Enterprise Edition
- your team prefers no-code GUI-based test creation
- you need a simple one-off benchmark rather than a full performance testing workflow
