Measuring latency and being able to react to latency issues are getting equally complex as our systems got more complex. This article will help you how to navigate yourself at a latency problem and what you need to put in place to effectively do so.
Latency
So, what is latency? Latency is how long it takes to do something. How long does it take to have a response back? How long does it take to process a message in a queue?
We use latency as one of the core measures to tell whether a system is working as intended end-to-end. On the critical path (in the lifetime of a user request), latency is the core element that contributes to the overall user experience. It also allows us whether we are utilizing our resources as expected or our throughput is less than our trajectory.
