Why Vegeta?

Vegeta is a versatile HTTP load testing tool built out of a need to drill HTTP services with a constant request rate. It can be used both as a command line utility and a library.

Running Vegeta in containers

Here I am using Kubernetes to run Vegeta.

You can get the source code from here

Usage


$ git clone https://github.com/vishnudxb/kube-vegeta.git && cd kube-vegeta
$ kubectl create -f vegeta.yml

To view the pods

$ kubectl get pods

OUTPUT:

NAME                      READY     STATUS    RESTARTS   AGE
vegeta-4080967759-r0vrw   1/1       Running   0          39s


$ kubectl exec vegeta-4080967759-r0vrw  -i -t -- /bin/bash

root@vegeta-4080967759-r0vrw:/go# echo "GET https://google.com/" | vegeta attack -duration=5s -rate=5 -timeout=1m | tee output.bin | vegeta report

The output should be something like below:
