Run a benchmark in parallel, i.e. simulate simultaneous requests

When testing a database procedure invoked from an API, when it runs sequentially, it seems to run consistently within ~3s. However we've noticed that when several requests come in at the same time, this can take much longer, causing time outs. I am trying to reproduce the "several requests at one time" case as a go test.

I tried the -parallel 10 go test flag, but the timings were the same at ~28s.

Is there something wrong with my benchmark function?

func Benchmark_RealCreate(b *testing.B) {
    b.ResetTimer()
    for n := 0; n < b.N; n++ {
        name := randomdata.SillyName()
        r := gofight.New()
        u := []unit{unit{MefeUnitID: name, MefeCreatorUserID: "user", BzfeCreatorUserID: 55, ClassificationID: 2, UnitName: name, UnitDescriptionDetails: "Up on the hills and testing"}}
        uJSON, _ := json.Marshal(u)
        r.POST("/create").
            SetBody(string(uJSON)).
            Run(h.BasicEngine(), func(r gofight.HTTPResponse, rq gofight.HTTPRequest) {
                assert.Contains(b, r.Body.String(), name)
                assert.Equal(b, http.StatusOK, r.Code)
            })
    }
}

Else how I can achieve what I am after?
