Locust is good, but it has one major disadvantage, each thread is rather big and slow. We switched to Grafana K6 which manages 5X connections on the same hardware. The drawback is that you have to write javascript and not python.
Thanks! Interesting to consider those two. I do love the programming model of Locust. But the perf is also important. I wonder if they are leveraging asyncio and if not, why not? :)
