Show HN: Open-source load testing on AWS Lambda. With built-in cost reporting

[hassy]

Hiya HN! tldr: Artillery is an open-source load testing toolkit. It's cloud-native, i.e. you can scale out your test with AWS Lambda (other runtimes coming soon). There's no infra to set up or manage - you give Artillery an AWS account, and it takes care of the rest.

We just released an update which includes cost reporting. Every time you run a load test, Artillery will show how much that cost in AWS Lambda fees.

Blog post with a demo here: https://www.artillery.io/blog/this-load-test-cost-us-how-much

The demo shows a distributed load test running in us-east-1 at 100k+ RPS for about 10 minutes. Total cost is $1.23.

We constantly hear from our users how cost is one of the biggest barriers to load testing more frequently. We're making cost much less of a factor with Artillery, and hoping that will unlock load testing at scale to more teams.

Would love to hear what the biggest barriers are for you with load testing!

Hassy & team Artillery
