Gatling is a high-performance load testing platform built to help modern teams uncover bottlenecks before they impact users. It enables organizations to simulate massive, real-world traffic so they can validate reliability across web apps, APIs, cloud infrastructure, and even AI workloads. With powerful dashboards and trend analysis, Gatling provides instant visibility into performance issues and long-term patterns. The platform centralizes test creation, execution, and reporting, ensuring teams standardize their approach across all environments. DevOps and engineering teams can embed Gatling directly into CI/CD pipelines to automate performance checks at every stage. Designed for scalability and efficiency, Gatling empowers companies to ship confidently—even during peak traffic events.

Gatling Studio is a native desktop application designed to convert real browser-based user journeys into clean, executable load tests built on the core Gatling engine (Java/Maven project structure) in minutes. It enables users to record a live browser session (or import an existing HAR file), automatically filter out noise (such as static assets, ads, third-party trackers), refine the user-flow scenario (by domain or request type), and generate production-ready Gatling code that can be version-controlled and extended. The resulting project can be opened in an IDE, committed to source control, customized with injection profiles or parameterization, and executed locally with Gatling Community Edition or scaled via Gatling Enterprise Edition. Gatling Studio is aimed at performance engineers, QA teams, and developers seeking to accelerate test creation while maintaining full “test-as-code” practices.

Loadster is a load testing platform for websites, web applications, and APIs. Your site has a breaking point. Loadster can find it before your users do! Create realistic test scripts and play them back with thousands of virtual users to find bottlenecks, improve performance, and prevent crashes. Record load test scripts right in your browser, with the Loadster Recorder extension for Chrome or Firefox. Just step through your site like a real user would while Loadster records every step into a script. After recording, play your script back in real time, and edit it if necessary. It's simple to add custom validation and capture server responses to reuse later in the script. Configure your test scenario with groups of bots in regions of your choosing, running your scripts, ramping the load up and down, to simulate the geographically distributed traffic you see in the real world.
