# bombardier [](https://codesenberg.semaphoreci.com/projects/bombardier) [](https://goreportcard.com/report/github.com/codesenberg/bombardier) [](http://godoc.org/github.com/codesenberg/bombardier)

bombardier is a HTTP(S) benchmarking tool. It is written in Go programming language and uses excellent [fasthttp](https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp) instead of Go's default http library, because of its lightning fast performance.
With `bombardier v1.1` and higher you can now use `net/http` client if you need to test HTTP/2.x services or want to use a more RFC-compliant HTTP client.
## Installation
You can grab binaries in the [releases](https://github.com/codesenberg/bombardier/releases) section.
Alternatively, to get latest and greatest run:
Go 1.18+: `go install github.com/codesenberg/bombardier@latest`
## Usage
```
bombardier [<flags>] <url>
```
For a more detailed information about flags consult [GoDoc](http://godoc.org/github.com/codesenberg/bombardier).
## Known issues
AFAIK, it's impossible to pass Host header correctly with `fasthttp`, you can use `net/http`(`--http1`/`--http2` flags) to workaround this issue.
## Examples
Example of running `bombardier` against [this server](https://godoc.org/github.com/codesenberg/bombardier/cmd/utils/simplebenchserver):
```
> bombardier -c 125 -n 10000000 http://localhost:8080
Bombarding http://localhost:8080 with 10000000 requests using 125 connections
10000000 / 10000000 [============================================] 100.00% 37s Done!

Or, against a realworld server(with latency distribution):
```
> bombardier -c 200 -d 10s -l http://ya.ru
Bombarding http://ya.ru for 10s using 200 connections
