Open-source HTTP load testing tool 'hey' draws developer attention

Original: rakyll/hey

Hey, an HTTP load generator written in Go by engineer Jyotiska/rakyll, is trending on GitHub as a modern replacement for the classic ApacheBench (ab) benchmarking tool. It lets developers stress-test web servers and APIs with simple commands, and the open-source community is currently sharing and starring the project.

Why now: Developers are looking for lightweight, modern alternatives to ApacheBench for load testing.
