Load testing

Overview

Artillery is a modern load testing platform built for continuous load testing at scale. Engineering teams use Artillery to test and optimize their applications to stay performant under high load.

Test everything from APIs to full browser experiences using the same TypeScript/JavaScript skills your team already has — then scale instantly to production-level load without managing any infrastructure.

Getting started

Set up the Artillery CLI
Run your first test to get an idea for how Artillery works
Check out example scripts and projects for a variety of common tasks and types of applications, e.g. web app load testing with Playwright, or load testing an HTTP API, or another protocol such as SOAP
Learn about running load tests with Playwright and reusing existing functional tests for load testing
Learn about modeling realistic traffic patterns with arrivals and ramps, and Artillery’s hybrid open / closed loop model
Set up distributed load testing on AWS or Azure
Set up an integration with your CI/CD pipeline, and monitoring/observability platform
