This document discusses active benchmarking using Apache JMeter. It provides an overview of benchmarking objectives and the difference between active and passive benchmarking. The document then outlines the steps to install and configure JMeter before demonstrating how to set up thread groups, HTTP requests, and results reporting. It also discusses using operating system monitoring tools like perf to analyze performance. Finally, it provides examples of benchmarking results for TweetMogaz and Seeloz APIs and references additional resources.
