Nice, anything that isn't jMeter and can scale up without causing my CPU fan to grenade is welcome. There are a ton of load testing (sort-of) tools that are easy to hit a URL with, but it looks like the underlying Go tool (https://thisdata.com/blog/load-testing-api-interfaces-with-g...) is pretty robust.

But I'm lazy, so I'm going to wait until one of you makes a browser extension that records my activity in vergata-compatible files.

Ha, i was thinking the same but instead of making config files for load testing i wanted to create an extension that could produce capybara rspec files for rails apps based on my browser activity.
