It’s hard to find someone in the performance testing community who hasn’t heard of Apache JMeter. We love it for being open-source, free, feature-rich, protocol-friendly, and easily extendable. While JMeter remains a favorite, there are other tools that offer unique strengths and advantages. This article presents a comprehensive list of the top 5 JMeter alternatives, […]

In today’s digital ecosystem, APIs form the backbone of diverse software applications, facilitating communication and data exchange for an interconnected digital world. However, as demand for these services grows, ensuring their robustness and ability to handle varying levels of traffic becomes crucial. This is where PFLB, a next-generation, cloud-based load testing tool, comes in. In […]

Gatling Cloud, a cloud-based extension of the open-source performance testing tool, is a powerful load testing solution with its benefits. Those include excellent scalability, no-code test builder, moderate price for virtual user hours (VUh), and numerous useful integrations. However, with its steep learning curve due to reliance on Scala/Java and setup (and overall) complexity, it […]

Over a decade ago, BlazeMeter reshaped the landscape of load testing by moving it to the cloud. Serving as a cloud-based execution platform for the well-known JMeter, it freed engineers from the burden of managing infrastructure and allowed them to focus solely on testing. The result was a significant reduction in operational complexity and a […]

gRPC, short for Google Remote Procedure Call, is a modern framework designed to make communication between services seamless and efficient. By leveraging Protocol Buffers (Protobuf) and HTTP/2, gRPC enables robust, schema-driven, and language-agnostic communication, making it a preferred choice in distributed systems. In this article, we’ll dive deep into the world of gRPC, exploring its […]

Need to find the best API load testing tools? This guide breaks down the top tools to help ensure your APIs perform seamlessly under stress. By mimicking concurrent interactions from multiple users and HTTP requests, load tests are instrumental in detecting potential choke points within the API structure that could compromise overall system effectiveness. You’ll […]

When it comes to reliable load testing tools, JMeter is one of the best ones out there. It lets you check how your application performs under real-life conditions by simulating high levels of traffic. But to get the most out of JMeter, using a cloud service can make a huge difference; no more hardware limitations, […]

Overview Performance testing is essential for evaluating the response time, scalability, reliability, speed, and resource usage of applications and web services under their expected workloads. The software market currently offers a variety of performance testing tools, but two names that automatically come to mind are Apache JMeter and LoadRunner. The JMeter and LoadRunner difference is […]
