hey 0.1.5 (binary only)⚓︎

hey is a small HTTP benchmarking tool for generating concurrent request load
against web services hosted on the FritzBox or elsewhere on the network.

Runtime details in Freetz⚓︎

  • Binary path: /usr/bin/hey
  • Runtime dependency profile: self-contained Go binary built with CGO_ENABLED=0
  • Externalization: supported for the binary

Build notes⚓︎

  • The package cross-compiles the upstream Go sources into a single target executable.
  • No external helper tools are required for its basic benchmarking mode.

Typical usage⚓︎

hey -n 100 -c 10 http://127.0.0.1:8080/

Notes:
- On embedded targets, use conservative concurrency values to avoid self-inflicted overload.
