Load testing for Server Sent Event streams (or other HTTP connections that deliver information in chunks) using Play Framework 2.1 -- this project needs an upgrade to the latest Play version. Anyone interested in submitting a PULL REQUEST?

#sse-perf

This is a web application using Play Framework for load testing Server Sent Events (SSE) streams. It will establish concurrent connections to a server and measure and display the combined throughput and number of chunks received per second. The results will then be shown using animated bar charts. Ramping can be used to add a specified amount of additional connections at the specified time interval.

Internally, Akka actors are used to handle the connections and Concurrent.broadcast from Play Iteratee API is used to deliver the information into the Server Sent Events (SSE) stream.

You can see this application in action. I use it to put a constant load of a few hundred concurrent client connections on my BirdWatch application.

Please Check out my Blog for more information about this project.

###Setup There is not much to the setup if you have a working installation of Play Framework on your computer. All you need to do is play run in your shell or play "run 9001" for example if you are already using port 9000 for the application you want to test. Then you need to open http://localhost:9001, or whatever port you chose for this application.
