SLOHammer

SLOHammer is a web app that turns load testing into an SLO-focused, repeatable workflow instead of a one-off “run a script and guess” exercise. You define service-level objectives (latency, error rate, throughput) and the app automatically generates ramp, spike, soak, and chaos-adjacent scenarios, then runs them against staging or production-safe canaries. It correlates results with real infrastructure signals (CPU, memory, DB connections, queue depth) and produces a clear “capacity envelope” report: how many users/requests you can safely handle, where the bottleneck appears, and what to change first. It also includes a lightweight agentless check for common misconfigurations (timeouts, connection pools, autoscaling thresholds) that frequently invalidate test results. This is not magic: it won’t fix bad architecture, but it will make failures obvious, reproducible, and tied to SLOs leadership actually cares about.
