This is a pretty crowded space, with a wide range of solutions for all kinds of situations. Have you looked into https://k6.io/ ? IMO it strikes a good balance of being simple to start with, but flexible to support advanced use cases if needed.

At the very least, the first thing I would like to see is a comparison of your platform to existing tools and services.

Thanks for this comment, here is something fast I pulled around:

Distributed Testing: BuzzBench runs agents directly in your environments, while Gatling/k6 typically run from a single location

Coding Required: BuzzBench uses UI configuration, while Gatling needs Scala and k6 needs JavaScript

Dashboard: BuzzBench includes a built-in dashboard, Gatling/k6 require separate setups

Environments: BuzzBench tests multiple environments simultaneously, harder to coordinate with Gatling/k6

Setup: BuzzBench has a simpler install with lightweight agents vs. more complex configuration for others

Learning Curve: BuzzBench is designed for quick adoption, Gatling/k6 have steeper learning curves
