What is Locust?

Locust is a versatile open-source tool designed for load testing, permitting users to specify interactions through Python scripts, enabling the simulation of millions of concurrent users on your system. Say goodbye to intricate user interfaces or cumbersome XML setups—its focus is on clear and concise coding. The tool excels in supporting distributed load testing across numerous machines, allowing for the replication of extensive simultaneous user activities. A standout feature of Locust is the ability to express all test scenarios purely in Python, which removes the hassle of dealing with complex interfaces. Installing Locust is simple, as it can be easily acquired from PyPI using pip. By utilizing Python for test definitions, users have the flexibility to tailor and enhance their load tests according to their specific requirements. Furthermore, this adaptability makes it an ideal choice for developers looking to integrate load testing seamlessly into their existing workflows.

What is Loadster?

Loadster helps engineering and SRE teams protect uptime and customer experience without standing up their own testing infrastructure. The platform combines on-demand load testing with continuous synthetic monitoring, so teams validate capacity before launches and catch problems in production between them. Load tests run from cloud regions and simulate users at any scale — from a few hundred to many thousands of concurrent virtual users. HTTP, real browser, and Playwright-based bots cover the range from API throughput checks to full end-to-end user journeys. Reports break down response times, error rates, page rendering metrics, and per-user playback, then save into a shared history that stakeholders can review together. The same scripts can be repurposed as 24/7 monitors that run continuously from multiple regions. Incidents flow through configurable notification policies to email, SMS, voice, or integrations like Slack and PagerDuty, and maintenance windows pause monitoring during planned work. Status pages give external audiences a clear view of service health. Loadster is consumption-priced through Loadster Fuel, with free units to evaluate the platform and no credit card required to sign up. Engineering, QA, and SRE teams use it to validate releases, catch regressions before users do, and respond faster when something breaks.
