bombardier -c 200 -d 60s http://localhost:8080/

Modo de conteo de solicitudes

# Send exactly N requests
bombardier -n 1000 http://localhost:8080/

# Sends exactly 100 requests per second for 60 seconds

# Rate limit with concurrency
bombardier -c 50 -r 500 -d 60s http://localhost:8080/
# 50 connections targeting 500 RPS

# Low-rate soak test
