Goad is a highly distributed load testing tool written in Go that runs HTTP load tests from AWS Lambda across multiple regions simultaneously. It is invoked as a CLI from your machine using your own AWS credentials, and reports results broken down by region.

Use cases

• load test a website from multiple AWS regions
• run distributed HTTP benchmarking cheaply with AWS Lambda
• measure how fast a site responds from around the world
• stress test an API with configurable concurrency and request counts
• export load test results as JSON

When to choose

• you want geographically distributed load testing at very low cost via AWS Lambda
• you prefer a simple CLI similar to ab with region breakdowns
• you want to run tests in Docker instead of Lambda

When to avoid

• you need an actively maintained tool - the last release was in 2020
• you cannot or do not want to use AWS credentials and Lambda
• you need protocols beyond simple HTTP requests
• you want a GUI-driven load testing suite
