New top story on Hacker News: Show HN: Loadjitsu – a modern load testing alternative to JMeter

Show HN: Loadjitsu – a modern load testing alternative to JMeter 17 by rhl314 | 0 comments on Hacker News. Please meet Loadjitsu, my weekend project, years in the making. Over the years while building different apps and sites, I always felt that I need a modern load testing software.Tools like JMeter, ab are not very easy to use and it seems innovation in load testing which is a crucial part of any software release cycle has been ignored. This is my third attempt at making Loadjitsu, I am so glad that I can finaly release this. A bit more about the software 1. Powered by golang you can run load tests for tens of thousands of connections per second on very average hardware. 2. Cross platform, run it on Windows or Mac or host it on your linux machines 3. Lets you load test databases like MySQL, PostgreSQL, Mongodb out of the box. 4. Will keep adding more load testing targets in the future (even the more esoteric ones) I hope to open source Loadjitsu soon and let users contribute new t

New top story on Hacker News: Twilio suspended account because someone sent us a fraud text

Twilio suspended account because someone sent us a fraud text 35 by ChrisDutrow | 21 comments on Hacker News. I have a very weird problem with Twilio. It seems like they have gotten so big where they have started acting in bad faith. I'm curious to find out what other entrepreneurs think of this situation, where a partner, once trusted, and for which technical foundation has been built upon, now has shown to be acting in bad faith. Every once in a while, some scammer will send a phishing text message to one of our phone numbers. Here is an example: """ Your Facebook account has been placed on hold for verification. To avoid account suspension, Please visit: https://bit.ly/3qRFiF3 """ The message will be relayed to en employees cell phone as is what happens with all txt messages. Now Twilio thinks our account was hacked and someone is sending text phishing text messages from it. The latest time this happened, the account was immediately suspended by
