Say hello to artillery probe, a Swiss army knife for testing HTTP. A smart and user-friendly HTTP client for the
terminal which shows request performance waterfalls, and lets you set up expectations/checks on responses for
quick-n-easy automated testing.
Think of it as curl with better UX for common use-cases, and a couple of extra powers.
State can get very messy in a distributed environment like Kubernetes.
In simple environments, state machines are very adequate to define and track state. You quickly get to understand if your computation is misbehaving, and report progress to users or other programs.
As an SRE, you’d like to be helpful. But, you have SLOs to monitor and a long list of apps to look after. Self-service to the rescue!
Artillery is a performance testing platform for DevOps and SRE. We make it easy to run planet-scale load tests from your own AWS infrastructure. Developers love Artillery because it's modern and comes with batteries included. SRE & Platform teams love Artillery because they can provide a self-service load testing platform to developer teams. Security teams love Artillery because it runs on prem (or rather cloud-prem).
Load testing non-trivial dynamic web applications is no walk in the park.
If you've ever had to do it, you know. Creating test scripts is slow, error-prone, cumbersome, brittle, and just downright annoying. You have to deal with forms, track down which on-page actions kick off which request to the backend, and if any part of the flow depends on in-page Javascript... forget it.
