hivefleet 
hivefleet is a distributed, scalable load-testing tool, built on top of https://github.com/codesenberg/bombardier (v1.2.5).
It leverages the power of Google Cloud Functions to scale bombardier to any possible range. Google and budget are your only limits.

Prerequisites:
- a billing enabled GCP project
- a service account for it, with exported credentials
- installed and configured gcloud where you run hivefleet
- asume that any run of this program could result in costs in GCP
setup your config.yml file and pass it as a command line parameter
clients: 5 => number of CF you want to start
local: 0 => used for debugging, leave 0 when load-testing
debug: 0 => a slightly more verbose setting for local
deploy_function: 1 => leave to yes at least the first time
function_memory: 256 => function memory
function_timeout: 120 => function timeout
function_region: "us-central1" => CF region
credentials: "{path-to-my-credentials}.json" => Path to your google credentials
concurrency: 1 => how many conccurent threads each CF uses
number: 10 => the number of requests each CF sends
url: https://google.com => url to test

Run the hive-mind with one of the two binaries
./hive-mind-darwin-amd64 config.yml
- or -
./hive-mind-linux-amd64 config.yml
In the folder you will see a generated report.html
Local setup
git clone https://github.com/clglavan/hivefleet.git
If you want to test it out without involing GCP at all, you can first start a local webserver (port 3000) in
./commander/local/local
and from the config values above, change:
local: 1
This will instruct hivefleet to call a local endpoint insted of the cloud function endpoint, and run everything on your local machine
Run the hive-mind with one of the two binaries
./hive-mind-darwin-amd64 config.yml
- or -
./hive-mind-linux-amd64 config.yml
