Vegeta ExecutorVegeta is an HTTP load generator tool. Written in Go programming language Vegeta consumes CPU and memory resources very efficiently. This makes Vegeta a good candidate for performance testing organized in the cloud where cost-effectiveness is especially important. Another strong benefit of Vegeta is that it is safe from the "Coordinated omission" problem. Vegeta does not have so-called "virtual users", but it is very handy because it supports setting the desired number of requests per second (i.e. throughput). In Taurus, Vegeta executor allows to run the load for given duration with specified request rate (throughput) using either existing Vegeta scripts or YAML representation of the HTTP requests. Vegeta can be auto-installed on Linux and macOS. For Windows manual installation is necessary. In order to launch Vegeta executor, you can use yaml config like in the examples below. Example 1 - use existing Vegeta script: execution: - executor: vegeta throughput: 100 # number of desired requests rate hold-for: 60s # execution duration concurrency: 100 # maximum number of workers scenario: script: vegeta.txt # has to be a valid Vegeta script Example 2 - describe the requests in a scenario: execution: - executor: vegeta throughput: 100 hold-for: 60s scenario: vegeta-test scenarios: vegeta-test: timeout: 30 requests: - url: http://localhost:8000 method: HEAD headers: X-Account-ID: 8675309 - url: http://localhost:8000/abc method: POST headers: Confirmation-Token: 90215 Authorization: Token ABCDEF body: id: 123 name: Some name Command-line SettingsYou can specify special cli options for Vegeta, for example: modules: vegeta: cmdline: -cert cert.pem |
