Could you build this?
Partial The browser-based test builder, dashboards, and status page are vibe-codeable, but a real version needs a distributed load-generation engine across many protocols and real-browser runners, which is hard to make reliable and performant.
What it would actually take: A real version would need a high-performance load engine (likely built on or around an existing engine such as k6 or Gatling) with distributed runner orchestration and real browser pools. The hard parts are accurate high-concurrency load generation, drift and SLO statistics, and safe multi-protocol support. This requires backend performance engineering and distributed-systems experience.
