Hi all,
Our company is currently in the phase of testing a self-developed software load balancer. We've made sure everything works, HA mechanisms etc. are working and load is being spread across backend servers. Now what we're looking for is a way to test it seriously for heavy loads.
We could do it the simple way (i.e. setting some web servers behind the load balancer and generating requests as fast as possible, throw TLS in the mix somehow etc.) but I don't really like the idea as I'd like to test more scenarios (load balancer for database, what happens with a mix of TLS and pure HTTP and many other scenarios that are rather complicated to simulate).
Is there any software pack or application which would help me set up the backend servers and generate load fast enough to stress the load balancer?
Cheers.
