A stress/load testing tool written in Go that simulates concurrent users with goroutines to measure QPS and connection capacity. It supports HTTP 1.1/2.0, gRPC, and long-connection testing, and includes educational material comparing tools like ab, locust, and JMeter.

Use cases

• load test an HTTP API to measure QPS
• stress test a server with 1 million concurrent connections
• benchmark a gRPC service
• compare load testing tools like ab, locust, and JMeter
• test HTTP long connections with keep-alive
• generate HTML test reports for load tests

When to choose

• you need a lightweight single-binary load testing tool
• you want to push very high connection counts from one machine using goroutines
• you need to stress test gRPC endpoints
• you want a Go-native alternative to ab or JMeter

When to avoid

• you need distributed load generation across many machines
• you require complex scripted user scenarios like locust or JMeter offer
• you need a GUI-based testing workflow
