Scenarios

Kortanes offers three load testing scenarios either for testing spikes, long lasting load or wave loading.

Stress

This scenario spawns waves of clients which publish thousand messages each per default. This can for example be used to test the (automatic) horizontal broker scaling.

Shorthand Name Default Description
-w --waves 10 The number of waves.
-j --jobs 10 The amount of clients per wave.
-m --messages 1000 The number of messages published by each client.
-d --delay 30000 The delay between each wave.

Soak

This scenario spawns a defined number of users which publish messages until the program is terminated. This can be useful for testing the long-term behaviour or detect memory leaks.

Spike

This scenario publishes the defined number of messages asap to test the behvaiour during load spikes.

Shorthand Name Default Description
-m --messages 1000 The number of messages published by each client.
