PulseGo: Network Health & Performance Monitoring in Go

PulseGo is a high-performance network diagnostic tool that measures the "pulse" of your connection. While others only show speed, PulseGo analyzes Jitter, Latency, and Packet Stability to grade your network for real-world tasks like Gaming, 4K Streaming, and VoIP.

Why PulseGo?

Most speedtests fail to account for micro-latency. PulseGo uses the power of Go Goroutines to efficiently saturate bandwidth while measuring packet consistency.

Key Features

• QoE Analysis: Automatic network classification (e.g., Gaming: Grade A, Streaming: Grade B)
• Precision Metrics: Jitter, Latency to First Byte (TTFB), and packet loss measurement
• Cloud Native & DevOps Friendly: Native JSON output for Prometheus, InfluxDB, or Grafana integration
• Zero Dependencies: Lightweight static binary; runs on any architecture (Linux, macOS, Windows, Raspberry Pi)
• Multi-threaded Testing: Optimized concurrency engine for high-speed fiber connections

Installation

If you have Go installed:

go install github.com/LoboGuardian/pulsego@latest

Or download the binary from the Releases section.

Usage

Basic (Human-readable)

pulsego run --simple

Output: Download: 300 Mbps | Upload: 150 Mbps | Jitter: 2ms | Grade: Gaming Ready

Advanced (DevOps/JSON)

pulsego run --format=json > metrics.json

Project Structure

The project follows a clean, modular structure:

• /internal/engine: Core engine managing concurrent requests
• /internal/metrics: Mathematical algorithms for network health calculation
• /cmd/pulsego: Command-line interface (CLI)

Makefile Commands

• make build - Build the binary
• make run - Run the application
• make test - Run tests
• make clean - Clean build artifacts
• make install - Install binary
• make fmt - Format code
• make vet - Run code analysis
