I have a mysite.com site that is running in a local LEMP environment (Linux, Nginx, MariaDB, PHP7). The site is now ready and I have a well loaded database with lots of fake data.
Before sending to AWS-EC2, I want to test some accessibility parameters.
So I wanted to know how to create a robot that will simulate several competing hits on my site.
I want to predict what the limit of users accessing the system in which it begins to lose the expected income.
Any ideas?
How about using ApacheBench ?
For example:
$ ab -n 100 -c 5 http://www.google.com/
-n : Indicates the number of HTTP requests.
-c : Indicates number of concurrent HTTP connections.
Output:
This is ApacheBench, Version 2.3 <$Revision: 1430300 $>
