### What we like

Runs HTTP requests and benchmarks latency and response codes. Configurable concurrency, duration, request count, and ramp up time. Outputs stats to the terminal in real time. Supports JSON output and provides a web UI.

### Tradeoffs

Pretty straightforward HTTP request support, including different methods e.g. POST (with body). For more complex benchmarks, k6 is a good, scriptable alternative.
