It abstracts away the complexity of setting up and coordinating distributed load tests by providing a library interface to the cloud-hosted testing platform. The package depends on gevent for concurrent request handling, python-socketio and python-engineio for real-time communication with the cloud backend, and configargparse for configuration management.\n\nYou install it to programmatically define and execute load tests against web applications without managing your own test infrastructure. It's intended for teams that want to run load tests at scale but prefer not to host and maintain their own Locust coordinator and worker nodes.","worth_installing":"Yes, if you have a Locust Cloud account and want a Python client to drive tests programmatically. The low install friction and permissive license make adoption straightforward. However, the aging maintenance status and lack of public documentation in the fact sheet suggest you should verify current support and feature stability before committing to production use."},"id":"locust-cloud","links":{"html":"https://skillfed.io/packages/locust-cloud","md":"https://skillfed.io/packages/locust-cloud.md","pypi":"https://pypi.org/project/locust-cloud/"},"maintenance":{"status":"aging"},"meta":{"latest_release":"2025-12-15","license_spdx":null,"license_treatment":"permissive","name":"locust-cloud","python_support":"supports_current","summary":"Locust Cloud"},"popularity":{"monthly_downloads":2748437,"position":2907,"tier":"top_5000"},"security":{"n_vulnerabilities":0},"version":"1.30.0"}
