       Show HN: I made a platform to load and performance test API's
        
       I built BuzzBench because I was frustrated with how complex
       performance testing tools have become. And I was ending up writing
       my own scripts to test endpoints and manually check out resource
       usage at the time of testing.  Checkout demo:

       | Interesting. Internally we made a similar tool for performance
       | testing applications, including fault and latency simulation of
       | dependencies. It also includes analysis of resource consumption
       | and whether performance and/or resource consumption have
       | increased or decreased.

       | This is now the second time a similar tool has popped up here at
       | HN, maybe we should open source it.

       | At the very least, the first thing I would like to see is a
       | comparison of your platform to existing tools and services.
