Load Testing Examples

siege-ab.sh

# Siege attempts to recreate real traffic by using a CSV of urls to hit.
# This allows you to remove requests for assets, if you're running a CDN.
#
# c = concurrent users
# i = "like the internet would visit"
# b = benchmark (no delay needed)
# t = time
# f = file with urls 1 per line
siege -c100 -i -b -t120S -f urls.csv

# Another option is Apache's AB
# It's a benchmarking tool for hitting a single url to stress-test the server. 
#
# r = ignore failed requests
# k = enable keep-alive
# c = # of concurrent users
# n = # of requests for the entire session
