Clients for load testing an Etherpad instance, including legacy and sweep modes. Version 2.0.3, actively maintained by the Ether team. Supports configurable lurker and author counts, duration limits, and a sweep mode for reproducible concurrency curves with Prometheus metric scraping. Key differentiators: designed specifically for Etherpad's real-time collaboration model; built-in test for multiple pads in parallel; produces report artifacts (JSON, CSV, Markdown) suitable for plotting and issue reporting. Requires Node.js >=18.0.0 and ep_etherpad-lite >=1.8.6 with load-testing enabled.
