       Show HN: Loadjitsu - a modern load testing alternative to JMeter
        
       Please meet Loadjitsu, my weekend project, years in the making.
       Over the years while building different apps and sites, I always
       felt that I need a modern load testing software.Tools like JMeter,
       ab are not very easy to use and it seems innovation in load testing
       which is a crucial part of any software release cycle has been
       ignored.  This is my third attempt at making Loadjitsu, I am so
       glad that I can finaly release this.  A bit more about the software
       1. Powered by golang you can run load tests for tens of thousands
       of connections per second on very average hardware. 2. Cross
       platform, run it on Windows or Mac or host it on your linux
       machines 3. Lets you load test databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL,
       Mongodb out of the box. 4. Will keep adding more load testing
       targets in the future (even the more esoteric ones)  I hope to open
       source Loadjitsu soon and let users contribute new targets. Hope
       this makes load testing fun again

       | httperf, and others I haven't tried), with an added basic GUI.

       | The last time I used JMeter to load test a site, I simulated many
       | users: each thread logged into the site with its own account,
       | selected a course (it was a LMS, Learning Management System),
       | then opened a quiz, randomly answered all the questions, etc.
       | Various metrics and graphs (e.g. RPS, 1%-quantiles of latency...)
       | were used to estimate the maximal capacity of the web site. I
       | also had a JMeter plugin that extracted perf data from the HTML
       | responses. JMeter is a complex beast, and I'm not fan of its XML
       | config and Java/Beanshell scripts... but I don't see this as a
       | replacement in any way.
