Naming

I wanted a better name than my-load-testing-experiments and seeing that the project focused dealing with being "shot at with a lot of bullets" (Gatling) I thought about Ikaruga but ended up going with a Matrix reference. This was mostly because of the "...I can dodge bullets? ...you won't have to" exchange, indicating the best approaches won't have to drop requests (or use suboptimal solutions such as unmaintainable optimisations) but will have more innovative ways to deal with them.

"Neo" is too short/indistinct/obvious and implies I have already solved the problem, so I ended up picking mr-anderson .

The Gatling scripts are called agents (in theme with the above), the base API is simply called api. Variants are named with a randomly selected color from the list below to keep things simple, equal, distinct and low-effort.
