Key features of LoadForge

Designed for API tests

LoadForge is built for API load testing. Scale up to millions of requests per second, upload Swagger files for easy test creation, and get detailed insights into your API performance.

Developer Focused Test Creation.: Easily create tests with our intuitive interface or by uploading API specifications like OpenAPI/Swagger files, or, write your own tests in our easy to use Python scripting language.
Advanced Load Simulation.: Simulate real-world scenarios and varying traffic patterns to see how your APIs perform under stress. Scale up to millions of requests per second.
Detailed Reporting and Insights.: Get comprehensive reports on response times, error rates, and performance bottlenecks - by endpoint. Schedule tests to monitor degradation over time and ensure SLAs are met.

Peace of mind

Continuous Monitoring

LoadForge is built to be used - finally a load testing platform that encourages you to continuously test, and doesn't restrict you to limited virtual user hours (VUh).
