Apache JMeter is a 100% Java open-source application for load testing and measuring the performance of web applications and other services. It supports many protocols (HTTP/HTTPS, REST/SOAP, JDBC, FTP, LDAP, JMS, mail, TCP), offers a GUI test IDE with recording, headless CLI mode, distributed testing, and dynamic HTML reporting.

Use cases

load test a web application with thousands of concurrent users
measure API response times under heavy load
stress test a REST or SOAP webservice
run headless performance tests in CI
record and replay browser traffic as a test plan
generate HTML performance dashboards and live metrics to InfluxDB
load test a database via JDBC

When to choose

you need protocol-agnostic load testing beyond plain HTTP (JDBC, JMS, LDAP, FTP, mail)
you want a mature GUI for recording, building, and debugging test plans
you need distributed load generation from multiple machines
you want ready-made HTML performance reports

When to avoid

you only need simple scripted HTTP load tests and prefer code over GUI (consider k6 or Locust)
you need functional/unit testing rather than performance testing
you want a lightweight tool without a JVM dependency
