In package-manager terms it is the kind of tool people install globally as a CLI, keep in CI, and drive with small YAML or TypeScript test scripts rather than a long-lived daemon. ### Project history The public GitHub repository was created in May 2015 under the Artillery organization. GitHub releases show 1.5.x artifacts in May and June 2016, while the current repository has evolved into a monorepo around the `artillery` CLI package. The project describes itself as cloud-scale load testing. Its README and documentation emphasize distributed execution on AWS Lambda, AWS Fargate, and Azure ACI, protocol support for HTTP, WebSocket, Socket.io, gRPC, Kinesis and more, and an extension/plugin model. ### Adoption history Artillery's adoption path is typical for a developer-first testing tool: npm global installs are the primary documented installation route, while Homebrew packaging gives macOS and Linux package-manager users a native formula. The GitHub repository metadata reported roughly nine thousand stars and hundreds of forks at research time. The product focus broadened from API load tests into full-stack reliability workflows. Current official docs position Artillery for Playwright E2E testing, scalable load testing, and synthetic monitoring, which helps explain its use by developers, QA engineers, and SREs rather than only dedicated performance-test teams. ### How it is used A typical Artillery workflow is to write a small test script with a `config` section, target, phases, and scenarios, then run it from the CLI locally or in CI. The reference docs show YAML and TypeScript test-script forms, and the README points users to examples plus guides for Playwright, distributed load tests, SLO checks, Apdex, and observability publishing. The package matters in Homebrew because it provides a single `artillery` executable for a tool whose upstream ecosystem is otherwise npm-first. That lets users keep load-testing tooling beside other CLI dependencies managed by the OS package manager. ### Why package nerds care Artillery is interesting to package nerds because it sits at the junction of Node packaging, cloud execution, and ops tooling. It is a CLI with a JavaScript package core, but its value shows up in CI pipelines, observability integrations, and serverless execution targets. The v2-era repository also shows the modern pattern of developer tools becoming platforms: one installable CLI, a script format, cloud runners, Playwright integration, plugins, and telemetry sinks. ### Timeline - 2015: Public GitHub repository created. - 2016: GitHub releases show Artillery 1.5.x builds. - 2026: Artillery v2.0.33 published according to GitHub Releases. ### Related projects - The official README points to Playwright load testing, distributed runners on AWS Lambda, AWS Fargate and Azure ACI, observability destinations such as Datadog, New Relic and Honeycomb, and community/official integrations. ### Sources - - - - - - - source_facts.package-manager ## Security Notes infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal. - **Geiger risk:** orange / medium - infrastructure mutation or orchestration signal ## Source Database Details - **Source Database:** Homebrew formula API - **Tap:** homebrew/core - **Full Name:** artillery - **Version Scheme:** 0 - **Revision:** 0 - **Bottle Stable Root URL:** - **Deprecated:** no - **Disabled:** no - **Keg Only:** no - **URL Keys:** stable ## Related links - [Secret-risk packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/secret-risk-packages/) - Has protected-tool coverage, approval-gate, or non-low Geiger security signals. - [Terminal utility packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/terminal-utilities/) - Matched terminal and command-line workflow metadata. - [Text processing packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/text-processing-tools/) - Matched text, document, or structured-data processing metadata. - [Developer build packages](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/developer-build-tools/) - Matched build, compiler, generator, or developer workflow metadata. - [node](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/node/) - Runtime dependency declared by Homebrew. - [locust](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/locust/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, load-testing, performance-testing, testing. - [goku](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/goku/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, load-testing, testing. - [bzt](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/bzt/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, load-testing, performance-testing, testing. - [cassowary](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/cassowary/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, load-testing, testing. - [jmeter](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/jmeter/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, load-testing, performance-testing, testing. - [xk6](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/xk6/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, load-testing, testing. - [gor](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/gor/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, load-testing, testing. - [k6](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/brew/k6/) - Shares av.db curated category or tags: cli, developer-tools, load-testing, performance-testing, testing. - [artillery](https://www.automicvault.com/pkg/npm/artillery/) - Same normalized package name appears in another local ecosystem.
