Throughput
The amount of work or data a system can process in a given period
What's it for?
Shows how much work a system can handle in a given period of time.
For example…
Overnight invoicing must finish before 7am, so throughput has to handle the month-end spike
A payment service processing 2,000 transactions per second has higher throughput than one handling only 500 in the same time
Think of it like…
How many cars can pass a toll booth per hour
