A few options I've used: * Siege (http://www.joedog.org/index/siege-home) - fairly simple but powerful HTTP load tester. * JMeter (http://jakarta.apache.org/jmeter/) - much more complex (with an ugly Java GUI), but can test multiple protocols, distribute load testing across multiple machines, and has excellent reporting tools. * Tsung (http://tsung.erlang-projects.org/) - can be used a lot like Siege, but Tsung's real strength is that it's easy to extend (in Erlang, for better or worse) for custom load testing tasks. * Bees With Machine Guns (http://blog.apps.chicagotribune.com/2010/07/08/bees-with-machine-guns/) - OK, I'm mostly just mentioning this because it's got the Best Name EVER. Useful to simulate traffic from multiple "directions" (uses AWS). Good luck! Jacob -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
