Gatling
Continuous Performance Intelligence, powered by AI.
Gatling is a load testing and performance engineering platform for running tests at scale and turning results into actionable performance data. It addresses the difficulty of scaling load tests, connecting them to delivery workflows, and gaining visibility into bottlenecks across web applications, APIs, microservices, cloud infrastructure, and AI workloads.
The platform supports test creation through code in Java, Kotlin, JavaScript, TypeScript, and Scala, as well as no-code options including Recorder, Postman, and Gatling Studio. Key capabilities include AI Analysis for automated run insights, Failure Diagnosis, SLO tracking, Campaigns, an Injection Profile Builder, and AI-powered converters for LoadRunner and JMeter scripts. An MCP Server allows Enterprise Edition to be driven from a coding agent. Integrations cover CI/CD pipelines and observability tools such as OpenTelemetry and Prometheus, with distributed tracing available in Enterprise Edition.
Gatling is aimed at performance engineers, developers, quality engineers, and technical leadership. It is packaged as an open-source Community Edition and a paid Enterprise Edition, with a free trial of Enterprise Edition available.
