- Load testing tool (initially for HTTP protocol, but is agnostic)

- Extensions are done through a DSL, there is a Scala and a Java API

- The Git protocol impl was merged upstream

- Scenario

- User behavior (what is the path of the user)

- Define the steps of a single user

- Injection profile

- Describe how users are injected in your system (rate limiting, load balancing etc.)

- You can define the number of concurrent users

- How they ramp up and down, etc.

- Simulation

- Description of the load test

- Define how user populations will run (scenario, injection rate)

- Session

- Users can save data that can be used in a subsequent request

- Feeders

- API to inject data from an external source

- e.g. list of repositories to be fed to the simulation

(gatling-sbt-gerrit-test is their vanilla repo for load testing a git repo)

- Recording production to replay what happens through a feeder is possible

- Possible to randomize pauses with some kind of standard deviation

- Reporting is an HTML dashboard, but there is also a JSON file to get all the data

- You can setup a fleet of clients for many machines, but only the Enterprise version can collate the multiple report
