There's several options for load testing. I'll admit that I'm massively biased as I wrote one of them.
* easy-cass-stress offers a variety of customizable workloads out of the box and can stress many features without writing any code or learning new config. I wrote this with the goal of getting started in under 15 minutes. It pairs very well with my tooling to create lab environments, which I've also open sourced and have used for years in my performance evaluations. I've used this combination of tools extensively over the years. Most recently, to provide all the performance analysis for CASSANDRA-15452. https://github.com/rustyrazorblade/easy-cass-stress https://github.com/rustyrazorblade/easy-cass-lab https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-15452 * nosqlbench is maintained by datastax, is very flexible, can test more than just Cassandra, but requires a bit more setup. https://github.com/nosqlbench/nosqlbench * ndbench, from Netflix. To be honest, I know very little about it other than what's in the README. https://github.com/Netflix/ndbench An older, but still relevant post going into more details. It mentions tlp-stress, that was the original name of easy-cass-stress before I forked it 2 years ago for my own usage: https://thelastpickle.com/blog/2020/04/06/comparing-stress-tools.html Hope this helps.
