Gatling
Summary
Gatling is a load-testing and performance engineering platform for generating simulated traffic and locating performance bottlenecks. Teams can create tests with code, use a no-code generator, or import Postman collections. Scenarios can be written in Java, JavaScript, TypeScript, Scala, or Kotlin. The load engine supports HTTP and JMS, and can be extended for other protocols. Gatling supports API and stress testing, distributed load, and hybrid deployment; browser-based testing is not supported. Gatling Studio is a local native app for macOS, Windows, and Linux. The free plan is available, and Basic starts at €89/mo (annual). Enterprise adds a web interface for test management and monitoring, real-time dashboards, CI/CD integration, advanced permissions, and hybrid or cloud deployment. Its 14-day Enterprise trial requires no credit card. Gatling states that it is SOC 2 Type II certified and encrypts traffic in transit and stored data at rest.
