A utility to do some load testing in 1 minute.

quick-load-incremental.sh

A utility to do some load testing in 1 minute.

This script assumes you have vegeta available.

Usage

URL=example.com SLEEP=5 DURATION=10s INITIAL=1 INCREASE=10 ./quick-load-incremental.sh

• URL: the URL you want to hit (can't specify more than one, it's quick load after all ;))
• SLEEP: a cooling time between load runs
• DURATION: how long each load test runs for
• INITIAL: starting RPS
• INCREASE: the increase in RPS between each load test

For example URL=example.com SLEEP=5 DURATION=10s INITIAL=1 INCREASE=10 means:

• hit example.com
• the duration of each load test is 10 seconds
• we start with 1 RPS
• the second load test will use 11 RPS
• the third 21 RPS
• between each tests give the server 5 seconds to cool down

You can store those variables inside a file called conf.txt in order to load it directly.

If you create a targets.txt file (compatible with vegeta's target file) it will be used instead of URL environment var.

If you want to add a timeout you can do it like that: timeout 10s ./quick-load-incremental.sh

You can always stop the script with ctrl+c. No biggie.
