Most developers have heard these terms, but they’re often misunderstood.

⚡ Latency → How long does a request take to get a response?

🌐 Bandwidth → How much data can your network carry?

🚀 Throughput → How much work or data is actually completed over time?

A simple way to remember them:

• Latency = Delay ⏱️
• Bandwidth = Capacity 🛣️
• Throughput = Actual Performance 📈

Understanding these three concepts makes it much easier to troubleshoot APIs, integrations, distributed systems, cloud applications, and overall system performance.

Which of these concepts confused you the most when you first started?
