Pretty cool.
I wish Lambda supported Go natively, the node.js wrapper hack to invoke the binary and proxy the stdin/out is really dumb.

Re: Show HN: Goad – AWS Lambda powered load testing tool
#12Drat. "Goad" -- as in the "prod" or "poke" sense of the word -- has been my defacto default name for the inevitable build script in my golang projects (once I grow out of the single-word `go` tool commands). I'll have to rename if this catches on :D

#13Any plans to include a way to "script" the urls, types of requests, etc? Load testing is more than hammering a single URL thousands of times.
Seconded. Load testing tools seem to either be the "hammer with a single, anonymous GET request" or jMeter which is capable of anything but painful to work with. There are some other tools out there but the lack of documentation makes it hard to tell what you can and can't do.

Definitely! Not something we could have done properly in 48 hours though :)
Take a look at the work by https://stormforger.com/
They offer a ruby DSL last time I checked.
