The amount of work your system can handle in a given time period
Why It Matters
Higher throughput means your app can serve more users simultaneously
Real-World Example
A server that can process 1000 requests per second has high throughput
“Understanding terms like Throughput matters because it helps you have better conversations with developers and make smarter decisions about your software. You do not need to be technical. You just need to know enough to ask the right questions.”
From definition to deployment
Knowing the term is step one. Using it in something real is the rest.
