To see what these tools can be like for free, you might want to check out Datadog which has a free tier (Datadog is not a sponsor, I've just used their service, enjoyed it, and know that it's free for a small number of servers). Other popular vendors include Scout APM and New Relic.

locust

An open source load testing tool written in Python.
Pricing:
- Open Source
The previous load generator tools that I mentioned act as somewhat crude measurements because you're limited to testing a single URL at a time. What should you do if you need to simulate traffic that matches real user usage patterns? Enter Locust. Locust is not a tool that I would reach for casually, but it is super cool and worth knowing about.

Apache ab

Apache ab is a tool for benchmarking Apache Hypertext Transfer Protocol (HTTP) server.

There are two tools that are very similar that I use when I need to get a crude measure of the performance of a site. These tools are hey and ab (Apache Bench). Both of these tools are load generators that are meant to benchmark a site's basic performance characteristics.

Application Load Balance Landing Page

ALB

Application Load Balance

Automatically distribute incoming traffic across multiple targets using an Application Load Balancer.

If you want to learn more about horizontal scaling with a load balancer, then I suggest you check out Nginx (pronounced "engine X"), HAProxy (which stands for "high availability proxy"), or AWS ALBs (for "application load balancer"). These tools are commonly reached for and have a reputation for being strong load balancers.
