    I used to do this a lot in an earlier version of my career. It may look a little clunky, but there is a piece of software called JMeter (https://jmeter.apache.org/) that is capable of doing just about anything you would want to do in a load test - modeling any request behavior, distributed traffic, awesome reports, etc. 10/10 recommend.

    JMeter is old and crusty and not at all friendly to work with. But I used it for years because it was really about the best we had. Today I don't wish it on anyone. Ruby JMeter finally made JMeter easier to manage, but I haven't worked in a Ruby shop for years, and I'm not going to force everyone to learn Ruby just to do some load testing. https://github.com/flood-io/ruby-jmeter Then along came k6. It's developer-friendly and I've seen people actually enjoy using it. I recommend anyone considering JMeter also take a look at k6. They do a better job of selling it than I do: https://k6.io I am also Gatling-curious. Seems like an option for anyone in the JVM ecosystem. https://gatling.io.
