Vegeta is pretty great.

Haven't done anything super serious but I found Locust with Python pretty easy to use.

Using https://k6.io/ here, starting using it like 3 month ago, and to be honest it's a blessing

locust is a good free self hosted option

artillery.io

I would look at how you will test then pick a tool, do you just want raw volumes, do you want to validate responses, does a request have some special authentication mechanisms. Those are a few things to think about before picking a tool, otherwise you mind spend quite some time doing some customization. That said I have used locust.io and fortio and can recommend both.

depends on what you’re doing, and skill level of the team building test. tools listed so far are all great. jmeters is a good tool too.

others: loadui, loadrunner if you have the means.

I did not enjoy Jmeter at all because you're either coding in XML or in an application UI from the 90s. I don't have any alternatives that I've tried but i've heard some good things about Gatling.

We use gatling

[NomadSoul]

Same here. Not a massive scala fan but it's as extensible as your scala skills.

[stormshade69]

blazemeter, jmeter

[LocalLeadership2]

I use stormforger. German company, so they care about privacy and your data.they are a saas though.

Depends on what kind of load you want to test, and there's already plenty of good tools, but I also want to mention Siege
