Boom! is a simple Python command-line HTTP load testing tool designed as a replacement for Apache Bench, using greenlets to simulate thousands of concurrent users. It reports request timings, RPS, and a speed index for quick smoke-testing of web app deployments.

Use cases

• load test a web app from the command line
• replace Apache Bench for HTTP benchmarking
• smoke-test a web deployment
• measure requests per second and latency of an endpoint
• simulate concurrent users hitting an API

When to choose

• you want a lightweight, cross-platform alternative to Apache Bench
• you need quick smoke tests with simple concurrency controls
• you prefer a Python-based load tester installable via pip

When to avoid

• you need advanced load testing scenarios - use Locust or Funkload instead
• you want an actively maintained tool - Boom is being replaced by Salvo
• you need distributed load generation or complex scripting
