Can anyone please suggest an alternative to cloud-based load testing (free/open-source). Since the load testing feature would be deprecated on azure in a few months, what are people in the market opting for besides AWS.

Thanks

  • Hi @asneemS Have you tried out Gatling.io, How did it go? – Levi Lu-MSFT Dec 09 '19 at 06:22
  • Hi Levi , I havent tried out Gatling since I am looking for something to work with JMeter for the moment. Are you looking for something similar? – TasneemS Dec 09 '19 at 09:24
  • @TasneemS, You could also get thedetailed information about the Azure cloud load testing here: https://devblogs.microsoft.com/devops/cloud-based-load-testing-service-eol/, it also shared the Load testing Alternatives. – Jack Zhai Dec 16 '19 at 10:05

I was using Gatling.io to load test our enterprise application that is hosted in Azure App Service. It both offers free open source and enterprise tiers, easily configurable and produces a pretty fancy output that managers will love.

You can configure scenarios in Scala scripts, of which I was afraid first, but it's pretty easy and self explanatory documentation made it easy to configure even with zero previous knowledge of the Scala language.

Disclaimer: I'm in no way affiliated with the developers of gatling.io, simply their product is great.

If you're looking for a cloud-based solution to run your JMeter tests you should see the cloud provider which supports JMeter.

As of now the options are in:

  1. Self-hosted JMeter in cloud where everything is up to you (you can use scripts developed by enthusiasts like jmeter-ec2 or jmeter-aws)
  2. Flood.io
  3. Redline13
  4. BlazeMeter (the latter one is recommended by Microsoft)
