Does it require specific external tools to run?

It utilizes standard CLI tools like curl, jq, and optionally load testing tools like k6 or hey to perform requests and analyze distribution data.

Can I test session persistence with this tool?

Yes, the skill includes specialized procedures to validate sticky sessions by tracking cookies and ensuring requests route to the same backend.

Which load balancers are supported by this skill?

The skill supports a wide range of solutions including NGINX, HAProxy, AWS ALB/NLB, GCP Load Balancers, and Kubernetes Ingress controllers.

How does it handle failover testing?

It guides the simulation of backend failures by stopping instances and measuring the load balancer's detection speed and rerouting accuracy.

Seguridad y Pruebas

Validates load balancer performance, failover mechanisms, and traffic distribution patterns across diverse infrastructure environments.

The Load Balancer Tester skill empowers Claude Code to conduct comprehensive validation of load balancing infrastructure, including NGINX, HAProxy, and cloud-native solutions like AWS ALB or Kubernetes Ingress. It automates complex testing scenarios such as traffic distribution analysis for various algorithms, health check verification, and session persistence validation. By simulating backend failures and monitoring recovery times, it ensures high availability and resilience in production environments while providing detailed reports on traffic behavior, connection draining, and SSL/TLS configuration.
