## What it is
Baseline11 is a cloud platform for running JMeter load tests. Users upload a JMX file, pick the AWS regions to generate traffic from, and watch live response times, error rates, and throughput on a centralized dashboard, followed by detailed post-test reports. It also bundles free utilities such as virtual user and pacing calculators and a JSON-to-JMX converter.

## Choose it when
- Teams that want managed load generation without operating injectors
- Teams that want a free tier before committing to paid capacity
- Groups comfortable scripting in XML

## Look elsewhere when
- Strictly air-gapped environments with no approved cloud path

## Architecture
Baseline11 runs as a cloud service: scenarios use XML, while generators and orchestration are vendor-managed.

## Pricing
Free tier (1 test); paid plans from $65/mo.

## FAQ
### Who is Baseline11 for?
Baseline11 is best for teams that want managed load generation without operating generators themselves. It offers a freemium path, so teams can start small before buying capacity. Vendor: Baseline11. Deployment model: cloud. Free tier (1 test); paid plans from $65/mo.

### How does Baseline11 differ from Grafana Cloud k6?
Compared with Grafana Cloud k6, scripting centers on XML rather than JavaScript, TypeScript. Baseline11 lists protocols HTTP, HTTPS; Grafana Cloud k6 lists HTTP, HTTPS, WebSocket, gRPC. Status is active versus active. Use the Test Rig to compare full specs side by side before a proof-of-concept.

### What scripting language and concurrency model does Baseline11 use?
Baseline11 uses XML for scripting or scenario definition. Runtime model: protocol-oriented virtual users configured through the product workflow. OS support: Browser. Protocols: HTTP, HTTPS. Match these to how your team already authors tests and which systems you must drive under load.

### What is the cloud or enterprise path for Baseline11?
Baseline11 is cloud-hosted: you run tests on vendor-managed infrastructure without operating load generators yourself. That usually speeds ramp-up for distributed load while shifting capacity planning and data residency to the vendor. Pricing model: Free tier (1 test); paid plans from $65/mo.

### What are known limitations of Baseline11?
Baseline11 limitations to weigh: cloud services trade operational simplicity for vendor pricing, data residency, and network path differences versus your production topology. Status: active. Always validate against your target protocols and scale with a proof-of-concept. Confirm details against the official site and a short proof-of-concept in your environment.
