Gatling  Support This post is a bit delayed because the conversation really started at AWS re:Invent. As noted in the review post by Bob it was a great event and we appreciated the love from many folks coming to our less than impressive booth.   While we received many requests for info on our Jenkins and JMeter integration, quite a few folks asked us about Gatling support. Why Gatling.io for RedLine? In building Redline we were thinking about theRead More →

Rich and Bob decided to attend AWS re:Invent and demonstrate the fruits of a bunch of work Rich has done to create a more pluggable architecture.  Namely: Load Testing for Continuous Integration and Continuous Delivery with Jenkins Plug-In Simple Scalability with JMeter   If you look at our architecture, Rich added plug-ability to our our core web service via an API that Jenkins could communicate with and control, and the load agent so that it couldRead More →

Load testing has always been too expensive to make it a part of your Continuous Integration and Continuous Deployment process. That changes with RedLine13, since all you are paying for are your AWS costs – which RedLine13 minimizes by deploying spot instances and managing them for you by spinning them up and bringing them down automatically. RedLine13 makes it simple to set up with Jenkins.  Download and install the Jenkins Plug In, and then configure theRead More →

We now allow you to deploy JMeter tests on RedLine13. This makes it very simple to massively deploy your JMeter tests. RedLine manage and deploy your JMeter test to any number of AWS instances, sizes and regions. RedLine does the startup of those servers (Spot or On Demand) as well as deployment and running of the JMeter tests on those servers and the collection and display of the resulting performance data. You can take any .jmx fileRead More →

After a year as a completely free offering, we have introduced a new Pro version with our most advanced features available. We will continue to have a free offering, and we will continue to expand the capabilities of both the free offering and the Pro version based on customer feedback. For example, we have added free services such as big timing scaling,long duration tests, Node.js support, testing from any and all AWS Regions, and lots more overRead More →

As part of getting ready to release the Pro version of RedLine Load Testing, we have released a beta of”Cloning” a test.Read More →

This May we will celebrate the one year anniversary of RedLine. Over that time we have had thousands of users of our free tools for Load Testing and Zipcode API.  We’ve had customer test their applications at the rate of 20,000 interactions per second and over 5 Million interactions in a single test. We introduced a paid version of the Zipcode API last fall, and it has been very successful to help us offset the costRead More →

We have added the ability to  Get and Post parameters in RedLine.  Previously, we allowed just a ping of a URL, or to write a custom load agent in PHP or Node.js. We might call this the Goldilocks release – not to simple, not too hard.  Just right in the middle.Read More →

We have updated the reports of servers to show the actual public IP address (in dotted form – not the dns name) in the list of running servers, for easy copying/pasting. This makes life a lot easier in whitelisting the test server IPs with your service providers before the load test begins.  Our larger users had found it to be a bit of a mad dash to get all the IPs whitelisted before tests launch, especially whenRead More →

We have added Node.js support to allow users to write their own custom Node.js load agents in addition to the PHP support that has been available since last summer. We will be adding documentation and examples, but for those of you who want to experiment – go for it!  Let us know any issues or if you have suggestions at info@redline13.com.Read More →
