Best way to stress test a rails web app? [closed]


I would personally go with Apache Bench http://httpd.apache.org/docs/2.0/programs/ab.html

It's free, straight forward to use and lightweight.

If you are looking for a something a little more robust then I think Apache JMeter might be worth looking at. http://jmeter.apache.org/. Again, it's free, a bit of a learning curve and has a GUI so a little heavier.
