wrk is a modern HTTP benchmarking tool capable of generating significant load when run on a single multi-core CPU. It combines a multithreaded design with scalable event notification systems such as epoll and kqueue.
Basic Usage
wrk -t12 -c400 -d30s http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.html
This runs a benchmark for 30 seconds, using 12 threads, and keeping 400 HTTP connections open.
Output:
Running 30s test @ http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.html
12 threads and 400 connections

Vegeta is a versatile HTTP load testing tool built out of a need to drill HTTP services with a constant request rate. It can be used both as a command line utility and a library.
examples:
echo "GET http://localhost/" | vegeta attack -duration=5s | tee results.bin | vegeta report
vegeta attack -targets=targets.txt > results.bin
vegeta report -inputs=results.bin -reporter=json > metrics.json
cat results.bin | vegeta report -reporter=plot > plot.html
cat results.bin | vegeta report -reporter="hist[0,100ms,200ms,300ms]"
TARGET_URL="http://localhost"
echo "GET $TARGET_URL" | vegeta attack -duration=5s | tee results.bin | vegeta report
#echo "GET $TARGET_URL" | vegeta attack -rate=400/s -duration 5s | tee results.bin | vegeta plot > plot.html
With beautiful graph:
echo "GET https://fit-robin.practodev.com/api/feed?query=sex&page=1&limit=3" | vegeta attack -duration=10s -rate=50 | tee results.bin | vegeta report --reporter=plot > /tmp/output-new-1.html
Distributed load (or attack)
pdsh -b -w '10.0.1.1,10.0.2.1,10.0.3.1' \
'echo "GET http://target/" | vegeta attack -rate=20000 -duration=60s > result.bin'
ab is a tool for benchmarking your Apache Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server. It is designed to give you an impression of how your current Apache installation performs. This especially shows you how many requests per second your Apache installation is capable of serving.
The h2load program is a benchmarking tool for HTTP/2 and SPDY. The SPDY support is enabled if the program was built with the spdylay library. The UI of h2load is heavily inspired by weighttp (https://github.com/lighttpd/weighttp). The typical usage is as follows:
$ h2load -n100000 -c100 -m100 https://localhost:8443/
