wrk - a HTTP benchmarking tool
wrk is a modern HTTP benchmarking tool capable of generating significant
load when run on a single multi-core CPU. It combines a multithreaded
design with scalable event notification systems such as epoll and kqueue.
Basic Usage
wrk -t12 -c400 -d30s http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.html
This runs a benchmark for 30 seconds, using 12 threads, and keeping
400 HTTP connections open.
Output:
Running 30s test @ http://127.0.0.1:8080/index.html
12 threads and 400 connections
Thread Stats Avg Stdev Max +/- Stdev

Req/Sec 56.20k 8.07k 62.00k 86.54%
22464657 requests in 30.00s, 17.76GB read
Requests/sec: 748868.53
Transfer/sec: 606.33MB
Scripting
The "scripted" branch of wrk includes LuaJIT and a Lua script may be
used to perform minor alterations to the default HTTP request or even
even generate a completely new HTTP request each time. Per-request
actions, particularly building a new HTTP request, will necessarily
reduce the amount of load that can be generated.
wrk's public Lua API is:
init = function()
request = function()
wrk = {
scheme = "http",
host = "localhost",
port = nil,
method = "GET",
path = "/",
headers = {},
body = nil
}
function wrk.format(method, path, headers, body)
wrk.format returns a HTTP request string containing the passed
parameters merged with values from the wrk table.
global init - function to be called when the thread is initialized
global request - function returning the HTTP message for each request
A user script that only changes the HTTP method, path, adds headers or
a body, will have no performance impact. If multiple HTTP requests are
necessary they should be generated in the call to init() and returned
via a quick lookup in the request() call.
Benchmarking Tips
The machine running wrk must have a sufficient number of ephemeral ports
available and closed sockets should be recycled quickly. To handle the
initial connection burst the server's listen(2) backlog should be greater
than the number of concurrent connections being tested.
