What is Locust?
Locust is an open-source Python-based load testing tool where user behavior is defined in plain Python code. It simulates large numbers of concurrent users using lightweight coroutines rather than threads, making it efficient for high-load scenarios. Locust provides a real-time web UI for monitoring results and supports distributed load generation.
