JMeter vs Gatling: Comparison for Modern Performance Testing

The article compares Apache JMeter and Gatling for modern performance testing. While JMeter remains a mature, GUI-driven tool suitable for quick tests and non-developer teams, Gatling's code-based approach (Scala/Java/Kotlin) offers better CI/CD integration, maintainability, reporting, and developer experience. As software development shifts toward 'everything as code,' Gatling emerges as the more natural fit for engineering-driven teams.
