Hands-On Microservices with Rust

Drill

Drill is more complex and lets you perform load tests on microservices. It not only sends batches of requests, it also uses a testing script to produce a sequence of activities. It helps you to perform a load test that you can use to measure performance of the entire application.

To install drill, use the following command:

cargo install drill

After it's installed, you have to configure the load testing you will perform. Create a benchmark.yml file and add the following load test script:

---

threads: 4
base: 'http://localhost:8080'
iterations: 5
rampup: 2

plan:
  - name: Index Page
    request:
      url: /

To start testing using this script, run the following command:

drill --benchmark benchmark.yml --stats

It will perform a load test of your ...
