AutoBalter

From the team that developed Balter-rs we provide a fully-automated load-testing solution. You provide an API specification, and then we handle everything else.

• Max Transactions Per Second (TPS) for every API
• Latency curves & Error rates
• TPS/Latency/Error correlations between APIs
• Automatic fuzzing & edge-case analysis
• All data made available through Grafana and Prometheus

How It Works

1. Provide an OpenAPI specification

AutoBalter takes an OpenAPI specification describing how your API works. AutoBalter will parse and interpret the specification, and use it as the base point to learning your API. A snippet of an example of an OpenAPI specification is below:

paths:
  /pet:
    put:
      summary: Update an existing pet
      operationId: updatePet
      requestBody:
        content:
          application/json:
            schema:
              $ref: '#/components/schemas/Pet'
          application/xml:
            schema:
              $ref: '#/components/schemas/Pet'
        required: true
      responses:
        400:
          description: Invalid ID supplied
          content: {}
        404:
          description: Pet not found
          content: {}
        405:
          description: Validation exception
          content: {}
      security:
      - petstore_auth:
        - write:pets
        - read:pets
      x-codegen-request-body-name: body

2. Allow permissions for API access

Adding permissions for AutoBalter to access your pre-prod stack will vary slightly between users. If you are using AWS, we will provide a CDK snippet like the following for you to enable access.

const authorizer = new HttpIamAuthorizer();

const httpApi = new apigwv2.HttpApi(this, 'HttpApi', {
  defaultAuthorizer: authorizer,
});

const routes = httpApi.addRoutes({
  integration: new HttpUrlIntegration('BooksIntegration', 'https://get-books-proxy.example.com'),
  path: '/books/{book}',
});

routes[0].grantInvoke(principal);

3. Run!

Once AutoBalter has your API specification and access to your pre-prod API setup, all you need to do is run it! AutoBalter will automatically run load test scenarios using your specification, as well as leveraging AI to find edge-cases.
