🚀 aiolocust announced: Load tests in modern Python with asyncio & freethreading

Load testing non-HTTP protocols or using client libraries is often hard, but in Locust it is “just Python”! And bringing the tests to #Azure for hosted, distributed runs is no different!
Read more here, including examples for #GRPC and #PostgreSQL!

When testing complex systems, a load testing tool without support for Tracing and Metrics is just not good enough. Locust and aiolocust have OTel support built in, with improved support in the latest releases! github.com/locustio/locust

Azure Load Testing is the best way to run Locust at scale. Managed infrastructure + Copilot-assisted test creation is a real game changer!

#Python isn’t just for #automation and data anymore 🐍 We dive into why Python-based #performancetesting with #Locust works so well for CI/CD, AI-assisted testing, and realistic user behavior. Catch this episode. 🎧 testguild.com/podcast/a575-l… @locustio #TestGuildPodcast #SRE
Locust Technologies (the company behind the Locust.Cloud SaaS service) is winding down 😕 The open source project lives on uninterrupted of course! linkedin.com/posts/locustclo…
The latest release of Locust integrates seamlessly with OpenTelemetry to provide end-to-end traces and metrics! medium.com/locust-cloud/obse…
Load Testing Gives You Yes/No Answers — Observability Tells You Why.
We'll be building a lot of features around Observability into Locust going forward.

Load testing with all the flexibility of #Python has never been simpler. Start with just two lines of code! docs.locust.io/en/stable/tes…

I'm pretty convinced that folks will eventually look back at piles of .map.and_then.or_else (in any language, this is not specific to Rust!) as a big mistake, when you could just write a few imperative lines instead. It'll be like how we look at ultra-OOPy slop from the '90s.
#LoadTesting just became a lot easier! Locust now supports much simpler test scenario definitions, using pytest modules. And you can seamlessly reuse functional API tests as load tests! #Python medium.com/locust-cloud/open…
🚀 Load testing just got friction-free!
We’ve just opened up Locust Cloud Free Tier, enabling any team—startup or enterprise-scale—to spin up distributed tests in minutes and see rich reports. Give it a try today!

Locust 2.33.2 out now! Improved docker container start time and some very minor updates. github.com/locustio/locust/r…

Used @locustio for testing CrowdTick's poll system and uncovered bottlenecks . Effortlessly simulated 1000 concurrent users, identified PostgreSQL connection limits, and optimized my backend. If you're not load testing, you're just guessing! #WebPerformance #LoadTesting #Tech
New Locust release out now!
* Can now automatically open its UI in your browser
* HTML report files names based on templates

Locust just moved from Poetry to uv, reducing our build times by 50-99% (!) and eliminating the need for an extra tool to run external build steps. Thank you @charliermarsh for this awesome tool, and thank you Matthew for implementing it for our project! github.com/locustio/locust/r…
Locust is celebrating 13 years, 60 million downloads and over 25k stars on github. I caught up with @jonatanheyman to talk a little bit about how Locust came to be, and its evolution as an #OpenSource project. medium.com/locust-cloud/open…
