akka-http-load-test

The application, or to be preciese, applications, are supposed to show how akka-http work and how fast it can be.

Server

The server listens on the port 8000 and has one resource /count Simply start it with sbt run and then try curl http://localhoat:8000/count

Client

There are several clients doing the same thing but in different way:

• FutureClient: runs each request in it's own Future and onComplete starts another request
• SyncClient: using the library scalaj-http runs the requests synchronously. But this process is executed in several threads.
• StreamClient: using Akka Stream opens one HTTP connection and sends many requests via a single connection. Also runs in parallel using several threads.

Usage

Start the server and any of the clients and then check the client's and server's metrics on ports (by default) 8001 and 8002 repectively.
