Analyze and investigate your app’s bottlenecks
Gatling is a powerful tool: with only a few machines, you can simulate hundreds of thousands of requests per second on your web application and get high-precision metrics.
At the end of your test, Gatling automatically generates an exhaustive, dynamic and colorful report.
Means and averaged data are not enough: with Gatling, you get proper percentiles of your response times’ distributions. Don’t leave your slowest users behind!
