About:
Artillery is an open-source, modern load testing toolkit designed for testing the performance of APIs, microservices, and websites. It supports testing HTTP, WebSocket, and Socket.io applications with ease. The tool allows developers to write tests in YAML or JavaScript, enabling rapid prototyping and integration into CI/CD pipelines.

Key Features:

Write tests in YAML or JavaScript for flexibility
Supports HTTP, WebSocket, and Socket.io protocols
Real-time metrics and detailed reporting
Extensible with plugins for custom functionality

Use Cases:

Load testing APIs to determine scalability and throughput
Running reliability tests to simulate traffic spikes and identify bottlenecks

Alternatives:

k6 – k6 uses Go and JavaScript for high-performance testing, whereas Artillery focuses on a simpler YAML/JS configuration.
Locust – Locust is Python-based and code-centric, while Artillery offers a more declarative approach for faster test creation.
