Nomad Bench is a tool enabling load testing and benchmarking of HashiCorp Nomad clusters at scale. It uses reusable infrastructure automation to run test scenarios, collecting metrics to help understand Nomad's scalability. Core components include a production-ready core cluster and ephemeral test clusters with the ability to simulate tens of thousands of nodes using nomad-nodesim. Data collection is handled via InfluxDB for real-time analysis. This tool aims to simplify running large-scale tests and provides configurations for flexible testing, proving essential for efficient Nomad cluster performance analysis.
