Ernest Micklei
Hazana (https://github.com/emicklei/hazana) can performance test your gRPC services on the Google Cloud Platform. At kramphub.com (http://kramphub.com/) we build services in Java and Go that expose both REST+JSON and gRPC endpoints. On default, we let services and applications use the gRPC apis of our services for better performance and stricter messages. Many performance and load tools exists that can generate HTTP(s) load on a service. Because gRPC services require (generated) gRPC clients, those tools cannot be used that simple. At kramphub.com (http://kramphub.com/) we decided to use the same generated gRPC clients that application would use to access a service inside a load-test program. To make it easy for developers to create such load-test programs, the hazana* package was created that implements the framework for generating a given load (e.g. requests-per-second).
