Load testing a ec2 Node.js machine - Now... how do I remotely load test 6500 QPS?

Ok, I have my server built on ec2. My stack is Nginx as a load balancer, supervisord for managing processes for node.js i.e. one process for each cpu, and redis, master and slave on separate boxes. I have stress tested by testing failover and taking services offline. Using apache AB, on the server I can get up to 6500 QPS.

Now, I need to load test remotely. What are the best open source tools to accomplish this or even the most cost effective SaaS method to do this. I do expect 6500 QPS per server in production and need to extend the isolation of apache AB to remote testing. E.g. I will have servers in singapore and I need to test 6500 QPS from Japan and the effect of latency. I am aware of apache Jmeter but looking for a best practice solution.

Thanks

You can use blazemeter as SaaS solution. It's 100% Jmeter compatible. There is Japan(Tokyo) load origin location which you need.

I have successfully used jMeter for load testing at significant scale.

If a single load generation client cannot output enough load, you can configure jMeter with multiple load generation clients, with the load coordinated by a master instance.

Using "open source tools" implies that you have the ability to spin up servers in the zones you're interested in (e.g. Japan). If you locate a cloud provider in that region, you can spin up as many load generation instances as needed. You may, however, need quite a few instances depending on the network connectivity offered to individual instances. The nice thing about jMeter is that it can coordinate many load generation instances.
