## Solutions
- [Solutions](https://volt-test.com/solutions): Use-case guides for load testing PHP APIs, Laravel applications, and e-commerce flows
- [PHP API Load Testing](https://volt-test.com/solutions/php-api-testing): Load testing REST and JSON APIs built in PHP — chained authenticated requests, token extraction from JSON responses, CSV-driven virtual users, and p95/p99 latency reporting
- [Laravel Load Testing](https://volt-test.com/solutions/laravel-load-testing): The Laravel package — two Artisan commands, test scaffolding from your real route table, per-virtual-user session handling, and PHPUnit assertions that fail a build on a p95 regression
- [E-commerce Load Testing](https://volt-test.com/solutions/ecommerce-load-testing): Rehearsing a sale spike — staged load profiles, weighted browse-and-buy funnels, a real cart per shopper, and why a 4xx counts as a successful request unless you assert on the status

## Key Facts
- Go engine delivers 275 req/s per virtual user
- Scales from 1,000 to 10,000,000+ concurrent virtual users
- Under 50 MB memory per 1,000 VUs
- Native PHP SDK installed via Composer: composer require volt-test/php-sdk --dev
- Laravel package with Artisan commands (volttest:make, volttest:run) and automatic route discovery
- Real-time metrics dashboard with P50/P95/P99 latency percentiles
- Automatic error classification and request-level sampling
- Distributed cloud testing across multiple regions
- Free tier: 500 VUs, 10 minute tests

## How It Works
1. Install: Add the PHP SDK via Composer (composer require volt-test/php-sdk --dev) or the Laravel package
2. Define: Write test scenarios using a fluent PHP API — set virtual users, define steps, validate responses
3. Run: Execute locally with `php test.php` or `php artisan volttest:run`, or add `--cloud` for distributed testing
