Ktor-Sitting-Duck

A target server to spam api calls against and measure them.

Description

This project is a simple Ktor server that has a few endpoints that can be used to test the performance of a client. The server is designed to be a sitting duck, meaning it will not respond to any requests, but will still process them. This allows for the client to send a large number of requests and measure the time it takes to send them all.

Note: This project is not designed to be used in a production environment, it was solely for my testing purposes of a rate limiting library I was working on and the grafana dashboard was to help me visualize the data. But should be fairly easy to modify to suit your needs.

Setup

1. Clone the repository
2. cd into the docker folder
3. Run docker-compose up -d , will likely take a few minutes to download the images and start the containers.
4. Import the dashboard.json file into your Grafana which should be running on localhost:3000 with the default credentials.
5. Build and run Applicaton.kt.
