Interesting tools
Each week we review 2-3 of the most interesting developer tools. Here's what we featured this week. View the full archive.
Bombardier
HTTP benchmarking tool.
What we like: Makes HTTP requests to defined services for load testing. Fully configurable requests (body, headers, TLS certs. Supports HTTP/1.x and HTTP/2.0. Choose request volume: rate, concurrency, duration. Outputs latency numbers. Configurable output templates. Written in Go so available cross platform as a single binary.
What we don't like: Docs are limited - more examples would be useful. It’s designed as a CLI, so you can’t template your test parameters easily.
Review permalinkErgo
Event driven actor framework.
What we like: Produce and consume messages using a fault-tolerant actor model. Supports distributed communication over the network. Various built-in components e.g. web handler, error handling, state management. Built-in service discovery. Built-in observer UI. Inspired by Erlang (implemented in Go) and interoperable with it.
What we don't like: It appears more complicated to get started that it is - it’s missing a quick start guide with a real world application in the docs, but the CLI can generate example scaffolding for you to get going.
