Hi, Is there a legitimate way to test how many connections my server configuration can handle at a time? I use Django on Apache. I would like to send an increasing number of requests in a very short period of time until my server goes down. asked 09 Oct '12, 13:34 xpanta |
For a simple test, you can use ab. For a comprehensive test, I recommend Load Impact. answered 09 Oct '12, 13:41 seanf thanks. One more question. Does ab benchmark my website in general, or just the server? What I am trying to say is that my landing page does 100 queries in 2-5 secs (according to django-debug-toolbar). But, can it really handle 1000 requests in bunches of 10? Even if Apache manages to handle all those requests, MySQL may refuse. Does ab show that? Or will I need another tool (like Load Impact)? PS: And why I get a 'Document Length' of 0 bytes? (with ab)

... then it will hit http://mydomain.com/ 1000 times, 10 requests at a time.
Regarding the document length,
