What
Replaces Blaster's linear pacer with a stepped pacer. Endpoint blasts with a ramp up phase will now step through various RPS levels every
--step-intervalseconds (default of5s,but whole number multiples of5sare also accepted).For added context, Blaster currently supports a linear and constant pacer (i.e. functions that determine the request-sending patterns, the former increasing RPS from 1 to
target_rpsover--ramp-uptime, and the latter sending a constant RPS oftarget_rpsfor the duration of the run).Why
The linear/constant pacer suffers from the following limitations:
The stepped pacer fixes this by stepping through RPS levels to see how an RPC performs when being hit with some set amount of load.
Known Limitations
N/A, other than removing the linear pacer functionality.
