The latest uv release includes support for conflicting dependencies across optional groups. A subtle but very powerful feature. For example: use the PyTorch CPU build with `uv sync --extra cpu` and the CUDA build with `uv sync --extra gpu`. All powered by a single lockfile.

New release with a couple fixes and a significant optimization for FastHttpUser. Happy holidays! github.com/locustio/locus…

New release! Minor fixes + updated to Python 3.12 for docker image github.com/locustio/locus…

Locust is celebrating 13 years, 60 million downloads and over 25k stars on github. I caught up with Jonatan Heyman to talk a little bit about how Locust came to be, and its evolution as an #OpenSource project. medium.com/locust-cloud/o…

Locust just moved from Poetry to uv, reducing our build times by 50-99% (!) and eliminating the need for an extra tool to run external build steps. Thank you Charlie Marsh for this awesome tool, and thank you Matthew for implementing it for our project! github.com/locustio/locus…

New Locust release out now! * Can now automatically open its UI in your browser * HTML report files names based on templates github.com/locustio/locus…

Used Locust for testing CrowdTick's poll system and uncovered bottlenecks . Effortlessly simulated 1000 concurrent users, identified PostgreSQL connection limits, and optimized my backend. If you're not load testing, you're just guessing! #WebPerformance #LoadTesting #Tech

Locust 2.33.2 out now! Improved docker container start time and some very minor updates. github.com/locustio/locus…

🚀 Load testing just got friction-free! We’ve just opened up Locust Cloud Free Tier, enabling any team—startup or enterprise-scale—to spin up distributed tests in minutes and see rich reports. Give it a try today! #LoadTesting #DevOps #SRE #Performance locust.cloud/blog/announcin…

#LoadTesting just became a lot easier! Locust now supports much simpler test scenario definitions, using pytest modules. And you can seamlessly reuse functional API tests as load tests! #Python medium.com/locust-cloud/o…

I'm pretty convinced that folks will eventually look back at piles of .map.and_then.or_else (in any language, this is not specific to Rust!) as a big mistake, when you could just write a few imperative lines instead. It'll be like how we look at ultra-OOPy slop from the '90s.

Load testing with all the flexibility of #Python has never been simpler. Start with just two lines of code! docs.locust.io/en/stable/test…

Load Testing Gives You Yes/No Answers — Observability Tells You Why. We'll be building a lot of features around Observability into Locust going forward. locust.cloud/blog/load-test…

The latest release of Locust integrates seamlessly with OpenTelemetry to provide end-to-end traces and metrics! medium.com/locust-cloud/o…

Locust Technologies (the company behind the Locust.Cloud SaaS service) is winding down 😕 The open source project lives on uninterrupted of course! linkedin.com/posts/locustcl…
