launched stresix today, it tells you if your server is actually enough
hey! launched today, solo dev from moldova :p
stresix load tests your app on real servers. you give it a github repo or a docker image, it spins up a fresh server, deploys your app, ramps up to 2,500 users and gives you a report: what broke first and if you actually need a bigger server
why i built it: most people just upgrade the server when stuff gets slow, and half the time that doesn't fix anything
real example, i ran it on umami (the analytics app) straight from its own docker compose file. fine up to ~500 users, then stuck at 290 req/s. cpu was only at 40%, but one node thread sat at 100% and postgres was basically asleep. a bigger server wouldn't have helped at all, the fix is running more processes
full report if ur curious: stresix.com/reports/umami-load-test/
would love feedback, especially on the report. is it clear what to do next or is it too much?
code PRODUCTHUNT gets u a free run if u wanna try it on ur own app
