I’ve been working with GraphQL for a while and always felt the tooling around load testing was lacking. Most tools either don’t support GraphQL natively, or they require heavy setup/config.
So I built *LoadGQL* — a single-binary CLI (written in Go) that lets you quickly stress-test a GraphQL endpoint.
*What it does today (v1.0.0):* - Run queries against any GraphQL endpoint (no schema parsing required) - Reports median & p95 latency, throughput (RPS), and error rate - Supports concurrency, duration, and custom headers - Minimal and terminal-first by design
*Roadmap:* p50/p99 latency, output formats (JSON/CSV), multiple query files.

I’d love feedback from the HN community: - What metrics matter most to you for GraphQL performance? - Any sharp edges you’d expect in a GraphQL load tester?
Thanks for checking it out!
