This command uses two tools, echo and vegeta, to perform a load test on a specified URL.

Here is the breakdown of the command:

echo "${GET https:--example-com}": This part of the command uses echo to send a GET request to the URL "https://example.com". The ${GET https:--example-com} is a string passed as an input to echo command, and it represents the GET request to the specified URL.
|: The vertical bar (pipe) is used to pass the output of the previous command (echo) as input to the next command (vegeta attack).
vegeta attack: This part of the command is using a tool called vegeta to perform the attack or load testing. vegeta is a versatile HTTP load testing tool that allows simulating multiple requests per second to a target URL.
-duration=${30s}: This flag specifies the duration of the attack. In this case, it sets the duration to 30 seconds, meaning that the load test will run for 30 seconds.
-rate=${10}: This flag sets the request rate of the attack. It controls the number of requests made per second. Here, it sets the request rate to 10 requests per second.

In summary, the command sends a GET request to "https://example.com" using echo, and then pipes the output to vegeta attack which performs a load test for 30 seconds at a rate of 10 requests per second.
