locust:
settings
It's nice to know how much traffic your webapp can handle before it gets this amount of traffic for the first time. A tool that can help you calculate this is called locust.
Notes
The new user behavior definition is listed below:
import random
from locust import HttpUser, between, task, tag
class WebsiteUser(HttpUser):
wait_time = between(1, 1.5)
def on_start(self):
self.uid = str(random.randint(0, 100_000)).zfill(6)
@tag("attempt", "light")
@task(2)
def attempt(self):
self.client.get("/hello/")
@tag("sleep", "heavy")
@task(3)
def sleep(self):
self.client.get("/sleep/")
@tag("simulate", "light")
@task(2)
def simulate(self):
self.client.post("/simulate/", json={
"uid": self.uid,
"n_sim": random.randint(10, 20)
})
To run this via the terminal in headless mode you can run;
locust -f benchmark.py --headless --host http://0.0.0.0:8000 -u 1000 -r 50 --tags attempt
Note the use of the tags!
