Loadster is a cloud-based load testing and synthetic monitoring platform for engineers who want to know how their applications behave under real traffic.
Tests run with three types of bots: Protocol Bots for HTTP testing, headless Browser Bots that render full pages and execute JavaScript in real Chrome browsers, and Playwright bots for when you want to use Playwright JS directly.
Loadster scripts can be recorded from Chrome or Firefox with the Loadster Recorder extension, edited in a built-in editor with variables, datasets, and shared includes, and then replayed from multiple cloud regions.
Each test run returns detailed page timings (TTFB, FCP, LCP, CLS, etc) alongside resource waterfalls, screenshots, and full traces you can step through in a self-hosted trace viewer. Tests scale from a handful of virtual users (bots) to hundreds of thousands across distributed cloud engines without you provisioning anything.
The same scripts can be set up as monitors that run on a schedule from chosen regions. Notification policies route incidents to email, SMS, voice, or integrations like Slack and PagerDuty. Projects, roles, and shared test history keep teams aligned on what passed, what failed, and what changed.
Pricing is usage-based via Loadster Fuel, with 50 free units on sign-up and no credit card to start.

If this sounds like Cloud Functions, here's the history. Cloud Functions 1st gen ran on older, separate infrastructure with strict limits: 9-minute timeouts, one request per instance, no concurrency. Cloud Functions 2nd gen (GA in 2022) was already built on top of Cloud Run under the hood, which unlocked 60-minute timeouts and multi-request concurrency. In 2024, Google made it official and rebranded 2nd gen as... - Source: dev.to / 4 months ago
Cloud Functions (GCF) -- originally serverless functions to compete with AWS Lambda; latest generation rebranded as Cloud Run Functions. - Source: dev.to / 7 months ago
Of course, I can't just directly give my static website permissions to modify my databases, which is why I created a Cloud Function as a "middle-man" -- we should always assume there will be malicious actors that will cause irreparable damage if they have direct access to a database (I don't want to get charged by Google Cloud hehe). - Source: dev.to / 11 months ago
Itโs a lightweight GitHub App built with Probot and deployed serverlessly on GCF. Here's what it does:. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
Serverless architectures are revolutionizing software development by removing the need for server management. Cloud services like AWS Lambda, Google Cloud Functions, and Azure Functions allow developers to concentrate on writing code, as these platforms handle scaling automatically. - Source: dev.to / about 1 year ago
