artillery-engine-lambda v1.0.19

Artillery.io AWS Lambda Plugin

Based on the Kinesis Engine by Shoreditch.

Usage

Important: The plugin requires Artillery 1.5.8-3 or higher.

Install the plugin

# If Artillery is installed globally:
npm install -g artillery-engine-lambda

Use the plugin

1. Set config.target to the name of the Lambda function
2. Specify additional options in config.lambda:
   • region - AWS region (default: us-east-1)
3. Set the engine property of the scenario to lambda.
4. Use invoke in your scenario to invoke the Lambda function
5. Specify additional invocation parameters:
   • payload - String or object with the payload to send to the Lambda function
   • invocationType - Lambda invocation type. One of Event, RequestResponse, DryRun
   • logType - One of None, Tail
   • qualifier - Lambda qualifier
   • clientContext - client context to pass to the Lambda function as context
   • target - invocation specific target overriding global default in config.target.

Payload substitution

The Lambda payload can include variable and function placeholders in the form of {{ [VAR_NAME_OR_FUNC_CALL] }}.

For example the payload might include a call to the built-in Artillery functions $randomNumber(min max) or $randomString(length).

Use $contextUid() to get the scenario unique ID in your payload.

Example Script

config:
  target: "lambda_function_name"
  lambda:
    region: "us-east-1"
  phases:
    arrivalCount: 10
    duration: 1
  engines:
    lambda: {}

scenarios:
  - name: "Invoke function"
    engine: "lambda"
    flow:
      - loop:
        - invoke:
           # data may be a string or an object. Objects
           # will be JSON.stringified.
           clientContext: '{"app": "MyApp"}'
           invocationType: "Event"
           logType: "Tail"
           payload: "Some payload"
           qualifier: "1"
        - think: 1
        count: 100
