Scaling gatling with amazon Elastic Container Service/ECS

Gatling (Open-Source)
1

Hi All,

We have scaled out gatling using AWS Elastic Container Service/ECS to generate large volume. It has worked really well for us. Details of this particular effort is available here https://github.com/nearmap/gatling-on-ecs If anyone is keen to try and explore ECS/AWS route.

I would also been keen to hear feedback/suggestions.

Thanks a lot!

Regards

Interesting approach - thank you for sharing Suneeta - will take a look into it.

I like the use of S3 to store simulation logs due to the low cost - and assuming analysis is done in EC2 as well then virtually none of that data needs to be transferred out of AWS.

Thanks,
Barry

Hi Suneeta,

here is something similar to scale the load from multiple injectors using AWS:
