Awesome JMeter

A curated collection of resources covering Apache JMeter and related resources and shiny things: plugins, integrations, testing techniques, ci, devops etc.

The Apache JMeter is open source, pure Java application designed to load test functional behavior and measure performance.

This list grew up from my answer on Stack Exchange and personal jmeter-related links collection and got further inspiration from awesome project.
