Cool, I didn&#x27;t see this tool before. I have tried most open source load testing tools out there, as part of writing a couple of review articles on them (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;grafana.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2020&#x2F;03&#x2F;03&#x2F;open-source-load-testing-tool-review&#x2F;" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;grafana.com&#x2F;blog&#x2F;2020&#x2F;03&#x2F;03&#x2F;open-source-load-testing...</a>) and my gut reaction is this one looks like a Golang alternative to Wrk (<a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;wg&#x2F;wrk">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;github.com&#x2F;wg&#x2F;wrk</a>) in that its main feature is speed. I&#x27;d bet Wrk still blows it out of the water though - in my testing, no other tool got anywhere close to Wrk&#x27;s level of performance. Still, if you need scale and want to hammer a single URL with a very large number of requests&#x2F;second and prefer a Go application (Wrk is written in C) it may be a good alternative.
