Latency vs Throughput | System Design Essentials

Understanding the difference between Latency and Throughput are important concepts in system design, distributed systems, and cloud computing. In this video, I explain to you the difference between the two walking through official definitions, and providing real-world examples.

Most clear explanation about latency vs throughput in the internet. Thanks!

[samartajshaikh]

Have never seen someone explain latency and throughput in this much depth

[jordanb]

I'm going through the System design playlist and just wanna say these are so valuable. Appreciate all the effort that went behind this and for keeping it free!

[adrienesquerre]

Such an elegant demonstration ! I am sincerely grateful to you, Master.

[sakethtadimeti]

Thanks for taking the time to explain this so well.

[charlesopuoro]

Thank you very much for this clear, pragmatic explanation.

[stephenmccallion]

This is great I really enjoy your content. I'd love to see any videos on CI/CD tools deploying to AWS.

[funkykong]

I would have liked to have heard more about the relationship of latency and throughput and how latency can limit potential throughput.

[abdulmoizsheikh]

THank you soo much. Really enjoyed this talk

[ypucandeleteit]

thank you this was a really good source of information

[uchennaonyia]

Another great video. Thanks very much. They are always very insightful. I was wondering if you would do a video on instance sizing. Picking the right type of instance for your application and the things to Consider

[adarshrana]

Sir you are toooo good, love from India

[bhatsachin]

This is a very nice explanation, i was searching for better understating for a while now. Thank you.

Also, i have a question around network bandwidth. how much network bandwidth does cloud provider provides? because if I can increase number of servers and my each request is 1 mb how many concurrent requests can my network handle? Because there should be some limit to the network which connects from client to Load balancer.

Really liked this video, thank you :)

[aayyaa]

Thank you soooo much for the awesome tutorial! It is super clear.
Just one small question. If we level up throughput, does it mean that the processing latency could be lower?
Thank you for any answer you provide.

Regarding Latency/counts chart. The axises should be swapped. Latency should be on the vertical axis as this is a function of counts

[manouchehrzadahmad]

what is the difference between Response time and Latency? It seems your definition of latency is same as the response time.

[MrHorse]

What’s the difference between Throughput and Bandwidth?

[truelifestories]

In your definition of throughput, what is the size of your packet?

[johnboy]

Its not a hard concept to grasp, the problems arise when you try to measure them properly.
