You can find more about it at blog https://sbrakl.wordpress.com/2017/01/29/stressor-the-container/

I had develop this app in three flavors

flaskappwithWerkzeug

Flask stress app running on Werkzeug web server. It good for light weight concurrent loads, but bad for 5+ concurrent load

flaskappwithSSL

Same as flaskappwithWerkzeug, but configure to run on SSL. It useful in scenarios, where you need to configure containers behind load balancer. This will test load balancer for SSL traffic.

flaskappwithuwsgi

Flask app is configure to run on the uwsgi and nginx webserver. It configure to run 16 concurrent request.
