9 sourcesThis is a great blog post! just taking the opportunity here to comment on this:
> Finally for full scale high fidelity load tests there are relatively few tools out there for browser based load testing.
It exists as of a few months ago and it's fully open source: https://github.com/artilleryio/artillery (I'm the lead dev). You write a Playwright script, then run it in your own AWS account on serverless Fargate and scale it out horizontally as you see fit. Artillery takes care of spinning up and down all of the infra. It will also automatically grab and report Core Web Vitals for you from all those browser sessions, and we just released support for tracing so you can dig into the details of each session if you want to (OpenTelemetry based so works with most vendors- Datadago APM, New Relic etc)
In Ruby on Rails load testing habitscurl is fantastic. There's also HTTPStat which provides a waterfall visualization on top of curl timings: https://github.com/reorx/httpstat
There's also Skytrace (made by yours truly), which provides timing info as a waterfall visualization inspired by HTTPStat + lots more (syntax highlighting for responses, built-in JMESPath support, command-line assertions and checks etc) - https://github.com/artilleryio/artillery/tree/main/packages/...

edit: it looks like you need to install 1276 npm dependencies to use this tool

i'll pass, the risk is unacceptable for value it offers, especially in corporate environments
