why does not use katalon for load testing? I need some concrete reasons for that.

Hi there,
Thank you very much for your topic. Please note that it may take a little while before a member of our community or from Katalon team responds to you.
Thanks!
I assume that you want to send a lot of HTTP requests symultaneously to your web server to verify how your server performs. That is called Load testing.
In Java world, I believe, the de facto tool of “load test” is JMeter. Have a quick look at the following article. It discusses making load of 50, 500, 1000 symultaneous HTTP sessions.
On the other hand, Katalon, how many parallel HTTP sessions can it make? ---- I think it can make only 1 HTTP session at a time basically.
Why so small number? — because Katalon is a tool that is designed to automate operations on a Web browser. It is not designed to create a lot of HTTP sessions at a time. It is not designed to be useful for load testing.
JMeter does not bother driving web browsers. So it can run flyweighted.
You should choose the right tool for your purpose.

Welcome to our community. With Load Testing, I agree with @kazurayam, if you want to perform Load Testing, you can try some tools like: Apache JMeter, LoadRunner, k6. An interesting article here
