Picture a toll booth on a highway. Throughput in this scenario is the number of cars that can pass through the toll area in a given time period. If there are multiple lanes and fast payment methods, cars move through quickly, increasing throughput. If there's just one lane or slow payment processing, traffic builds up and fewer cars pass through, just as in a system with bottlenecks.

Throughput

It refers to the amount of work a system can process in a given time frame. It's a critical metric in system design that indicates the efficiency and capacity of a system.

Definition:

Workload Processing:
Throughput measures how many operations, transactions, or data units a system can handle per unit of time. This could be requests per second, transactions per minute, or bits per second, depending on the context.

Suppose a programmer able to type 54 words per minute. then their throughput is 54 words/minute.
