Show HN: Loadjitsu – a modern load testing alternative to JMeter
18 by rhl314 | 0 comments on Hacker News.
Please meet Loadjitsu, my weekend project, years in the making. Over the years while building different apps and sites, I always felt that I need a modern load testing software.Tools like JMeter, ab are not very easy to use and it seems innovation in load testing which is a crucial part of any software release cycle has been ignored. This is my third attempt at making Loadjitsu, I am so glad that I can finaly release this. A bit more about the software 1. Powered by golang you can run load tests for tens of thousands of connections per second on very average hardware. 2. Cross platform, run it on Windows or Mac or host it on your linux machines 3. Lets you load test databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Mongodb out of the box. 4. Will keep adding more load testing targets in the future (even the more esoteric ones) I hope to open source Loadjitsu soon and let users contribute new targets. Hope this makes load testing fun again

New top story on Hacker News: Ask HN: How to connect with fellow developers given few physical opportunities?
Ask HN: How to connect with fellow developers given few physical opportunities?
17 by erikpl | 11 comments on Hacker News.
Hello! I've been studying Computer Science for a few years, but due to changing my major as well as a lot of online classes I haven't been able to meet many fellow developers in my university, especially not those who share my interests within the field. And as far as I know, there aren't many physical community gatherings happening close to where I live. I would like to change that. So: those of you who have managed to successfully connect with other developers online, how did you do it? If anyone would like to chat or learn together, just send me a message here or email me at: erikpl (at) duck (dot) com. These days, my learning is focused on C (related to a compiler course) and video streaming (work-related).
