I built a zero-dependency API load tester in pure Python"

URL: https://github.com/arjuninfotechinc/rapidfire-lite

Every time I needed to quickly load test an API in a CI pipeline or on a fresh server, I hit the same wall. k6 needs npm. Locust needs a pip environment. Artillery needs npm. JMeter needs Java. Even simple tools require setup before you can fire your first request.

So I built RapidFire API — a single Python file with zero dependencies that runs anywhere Python runs. No setup.
