Is there tools for performance and load testing of REST service? [closed]

We have web-application with REST interface. Is there some tools to test it?

Can we do performance testing using rest assured?

When it comes to performance testing, REST Assured does not support performance testing out of the box. If you, however, would like to use it for performance testing, you would have to develop your own custom framework for performance testing around REST Assured.

A RESTful web app/API is just HTTP, so no specialized tools are needed to test performance (as opposed to functional testing, where specialized tools could be helpful). You basically just need to make a lot of HTTP requests and record the results.

I prefer ApacheBench to more complex tools such as JMeter. It's very simple and easily scriptable — just write a shell script. I also find it oriented on HTTP, while tools like JMeter are designed to support simulating human usage patterns.
