go-wrk is an HTTP benchmarking and load-testing CLI tool written in Go, inspired by the wrk tool. It uses goroutines for concurrent async IO to generate significant load from a single multi-core machine and reports throughput and latency percentiles.

Use cases

• load test an http endpoint
• benchmark requests per second of my api
• measure latency percentiles for a web server
• stress test localhost service with concurrent connections
• compare http server performance
• generate high load from a single machine

When to choose

• you want a wrk-like HTTP benchmarking tool that is easy to install via go install
• you need configurable concurrency, duration, headers, methods, and request bodies
• you want latency percentile and throughput reporting without extra setup

When to avoid

• you need distributed load generation across multiple machines
• you need scripted scenarios beyond simple HTTP requests or playback files
• you require a GUI or rich metrics dashboards
