A Rust Load Testing framework with real-time tui support.

rlt provides a simple way to create load test tools in Rust. It is designed to be a universal load test framework, which means you can use rlt for various services, such as Http, gRPC, Thrift, Database, or other customized services.

• Flexible: Customize the work load with your own logic.
• Easy to use: Little boilerplate code, just focus on testing.
• Rich Statistics: Collect and display rich statistics.
• High performance: Optimized for performance and resource usage.
• Real-time TUI: Monitor testing progress with a powerful real-time TUI.

Run cargo add rlt to add rlt as a dependency to your Cargo.toml:

[dependencies]
rlt = "0.1.1"

Then create your bench suite by implementing the BenchSuite trait. flatten attribute can be used to embed the predefined BenchCli into your own.

#[derive(Parser, Clone)]
pub struct HttpBench {
    /// Target URL.
    pub url: Url,

    /// Embed BenchCli into this Opts.
    #[command(flatten)]
    pub bench_opts: BenchCli,
}

#[async_trait]
impl BenchSuite for HttpBench {
    type WorkerState = Client;

    async fn state(&self, _: u32) -> Result<Self::WorkerState> {
        Ok(Client::new())
    }

    async fn bench(&mut self, client: &mut Self::WorkerState, _: &IterInfo) -> Result<IterReport> {
        let t = Instant::now();
        let resp = client.get(self.url.clone()).send().await?;
        let status = resp.status().into();
        let bytes = resp.bytes().await?.len() as u64;
        let duration = t.elapsed();
        Ok(IterReport { duration, status, bytes, items: 1 })
    }
}

You can also create a separate struct to hold the cli options for more flexibility. There is an example in examples/http_hyper.rs.

Finally, create the main function to run the load test:

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<()> {
    let bs = HttpBench::parse();
    rlt::cli::run(bs.bench_opts, bs).await
}

More examples can be found in the examples directory.

The TUI layout in rlt is inspired by oha.
