blog post(s)/article about fortio (features)

[ldemailly]

fortio is a pretty great tool and library (If I may say so myself) and has a lot of features, some a bit harder to discover than other.

There is sometimes the misconception it depends on istio or kubernetes (neither are true, it has 0 dependencies except base golang and optionally grpc)

A series of blog posts or some articles in tech journals would help raise the visibility and thus usefulness

from #570:

docs, blogs, book... about all the many many features of fortio

fortio has so many features that -h or the README.md or the web UI are not making for an easy onboarding or discovery of all it can do and how to best use it

default values of many flags too (like now using -a -uniform -nocatchup being more or less required for serious use etc

for now I added these to https://github.com/fortio/fortio/wiki/FAQ#i-want-to-get-the-best-results-what-flags-should-i-pass\

---

not that some chapters of the istio book from christian does have fortio examples

Also of note #706 (comment)

ie a challenge is giving more context and examples on how to use the many flags, while keeping the flag help concise
