Plow is a high-performance HTTP(S) benchmarking tool written in Go, built on fasthttp for maximum throughput. It reports real-time latency histograms, percentiles, and summary statistics via both a terminal display and a live web UI.

Use cases

• load test an HTTP endpoint with concurrent connections
• measure latency percentiles for my API
• alternative to wrk or ab with a real-time web UI
• stress test a web server for a fixed duration
• watch live RPS and latency charts while benchmarking
• benchmark an HTTPS service from the command line

When to choose

• you need high-throughput HTTP load generation with low benchmarking overhead
• you want real-time latency histograms and percentiles without extra tooling
• you prefer a single static binary or Docker image over complex load-testing setups

When to avoid

• you need distributed load generation from multiple machines
• you require scripted scenarios, assertions, or complex multi-step user flows
• you need non-HTTP protocols or GUI-driven test authoring
