An interactive concept flow for latency, throughput, and queueing are linked, from its assumptions through the main operation and boundary checks.
trace / request.md
readyLatency measures how long one operation takes; throughput measures how many operations complete per unit time. A system can have high throughput and poor tail latency if requests wait in queues. Concurrency increases work in flight, but beyond capacity it often increases waiting rather than useful output.
Use the stages in order to explain latency, throughput, and queueing are linked. Each stage makes one assumption visible: what the operation promises, what representation it uses, how state changes, which boundary can invalidate a shortcut, and what evidence confirms the result.
For a worked explanation, continue to the topic article and execution trace.
