# plow
Plow is a HTTP(S) benchmarking tool, written in Golang. It uses excellent [fasthttp](https://github.com/valyala/fasthttp#http-client-comparison-with-nethttp) instead of Go's default net/http due to its lightning fast performance.
Plow runs at a specified connections(`-c`) concurrently and **real-time** records a summary statistics, histogram of execution time and calculates percentiles to display on Web UI and terminal. It can run for a set duration(`-d`), for a fixed number of requests(`-n`), or until Ctrl-C interrupted.
The implementation of real-time computing Histograms and Quantiles using stream-based algorithms inspired by [prometheus](https://github.com/prometheus/client_golang) with low memory and CPU bounds. so it's almost no additional performance overhead for benchmarking.
