The Tideways Benchmark Command

For retrieving a histogram use the tideways benchmark command. This command works similar to siege. The following example shows how to test the given URL with 10 workers for 30 seconds per default and show measurements afterward.

tideways benchmark http://myurl.to.application.here

The result looks like this for example:

Starting 10 workers...
Waiting for 30 seconds to go by...
Time is up.
