boom
HTTP(S) load generator, ApacheBench (ab) replacement, written in Go
Boom was an HTTP/HTTPS load testing tool written in Go meant to replace ApacheBench, this repo is abandoned and has moved to a new location under the name 'hey', go there for current usage.
Boom was an HTTP and HTTPS load testing tool written in Go, intended as a simpler replacement for ApacheBench, the classic web server benchmarking utility. The repository has been abandoned and the README consists only of a notice saying the project has moved to a different repository under the name "hey." The author also notes a naming conflict with another project called boom and asks users to switch to the new location. No feature documentation, usage instructions, or other details remain in this repository.
Where it fits
- Use the successor project 'hey' (linked from this repo) to send load to an HTTP or HTTPS endpoint and measure throughput and latency.
- Migrate any existing scripts or CI jobs that reference 'boom' to the 'hey' repository, which is the actively maintained replacement.
