The TUI
The Terminal UI (TUI)
Section titled “The Terminal UI (TUI)”Gopher Glide features a highly polished, interactive Terminal UI designed for real-time observability. Our latest revamp introduces a premium aesthetic powered by a semantic color palette, delivering a clean, modern experience directly in your terminal.
TUI Dashboard
Section titled “TUI Dashboard”The dashboard provides an at-a-glance view of your load test’s vital signs, including configuration parameters, real-time throughput metrics, latency percentiles, and a visual stage timeline representing your current progress within the load profile.
Premium Aesthetics & Themes
Section titled “Premium Aesthetics & Themes”The TUI is built on a custom styling engine. It supports full semantic theming so the entire dashboard can be cleanly restyled without touching component code.
Currently, Gopher Glide defaults to a beautifully balanced Catppuccin Macchiato inspired palette, ensuring your load tests look as good as they run.
Performance & Framerate
Section titled “Performance & Framerate”The TUI is highly optimized to ensure it doesn’t interfere with the load test itself. It targets a smooth ~24 FPS (refreshing every 42ms) to provide a highly responsive, real-time observability experience without consuming excessive CPU cycles.
Keybindings
Section titled “Keybindings”| Key | Action |
|---|---|
↑ | Increase live RPS by +5 (Director Mode bias) |
↓ | Decrease live RPS by -5 (Director Mode bias) |
f | Toggle call log between all calls and errors only |
q / Ctrl+C | Quit |
Director Mode
Section titled “Director Mode”While a run is in progress, use ↑ / ↓ to apply a live RPS bias on top of the configured stage target. The bias accumulates (e.g., three ↑ presses = +15 RPS) and is shown in the TUI and reflected in the live metrics. The bias is applied on top of the LERP’d value — the stage plan continues to run unaffected.
