Bombardier is a high-performance, cross-platform HTTP benchmarking tool written in Go. It is designed to facilitate load testing by making HTTP requests to specified services. Users can fully configure the requests, including the body, headers, and TLS certificates, and it supports both HTTP/1.x and HTTP/2.0 protocols. The tool allows users to define the request volume in terms of rate, concurrency, and duration, providing detailed output on latency metrics. Additionally, Bombardier offers customizable output templates for tailored reporting.
The tool is distributed as a single binary, making it easily deployable across different platforms. However, its documentation is somewhat limited, and more examples would enhance usability. Since Bombardier is designed as a command-line interface (CLI) tool, templating test parameters is not straightforward. Despite these drawbacks, Bombardier remains a robust option for HTTP load testing, leveraging the speed and efficiency of the Go programming language.
