Need a stresser with an actual API I can wire into CI. Most providers I've checked have either nothing, a barely-documented JSON endpoint, or they want you to use their dashboard for everything. Looking to trigger load tests automatically on every staging deploy as part of our release gate. Anyone running this kind of setup?

This setup is exactly what I have running. Using https://ddosnow.su/ for the past 8 months specifically because their REST API is clean enough to integrate into CI without rage-quitting.



What I do:



- GitHub Action triggers on merge to staging branch

- Action calls /api/tasks endpoint to launch a 30-second L7 stress test against the just-deployed environment (target was DNS-verified once at setup, persists for the domain)

- Polls task status every 5 seconds, reads back task ID for the audit trail

- Pulls per-server metrics + slot saturation + error rate when test completes

- Compares against thresholds defined in our release-gate config

- Fails the deploy if p99 latency went above 800ms OR error rate above 0.5% during the test



API specifics that made this work:



- GET and POST both supported, JSON over TLS

- Scoped API keys with per-key task-time and slot caps (so a leaked CI key can't escalate into a sustained run — we cap at 10 minutes cumulative task time per day per key)

- Atomic slot reservation prevents two CI runs from conflicting on the same slot

- Standard HTTP status codes, real error messages (not just "error: true")

- Pagination on the task list endpoint, useful for audit dashboards



Pricing for this use case: Pro tier ($150/mo) gives 5 concurrent slots which is plenty for CI (5 simultaneous deploys won't happen in practice). Starter only has 1 slot, would bottleneck on busy days. Business overkill unless you're at 10M+ RPS production workloads.



If you want the example GitHub Action YAML I can dig it up — happy to share in DM.

nice thank
