k6 is too hard for me when I just need simple traffic tests

If you just want simple traffic tests, k6 can definitely feel like overkill.

Some easier options:

  • ApacheBench (ab): very simple, good for quick single-endpoint tests
  • wrk: fast and lightweight, good for basic throughput/latency checks
  • hey: easy syntax, nice for HTTP load testing
  • siege: straightforward for basic concurrency tests
  • curl in a loop: crude, but fine for tiny ad hoc checks

Example with hey:

hey -n 1000 -c 20 https://example.com
  • -n 1000 = total requests
  • -c 20 = 20 concurrent workers

Example with wrk:

wrk -t4 -c20 -d30s https://example.com
  • -t4 = 4 threads
  • -c20 = 20 connections
  • -d30s = run for 30 seconds

If you want, I can recommend the simplest tool for your exact use case:

  • one URL,
  • multiple URLs,
  • POST requests,
  • authenticated endpoints,
  • or just “see if my server can handle X requests/sec.”
