What is throughput?
The amount of material or items passing through a system or process.
🌐 Termos em outros idiomas:
In computing, throughput refers to the rate at which a system processes data or transactions over a specific period. It is often measured in bits per second (bps) for networks, or transactions per second (TPS) for databases. High throughput means a system can handle a lot of data at once.

Throughput is like the width of a water pipe. A thin pipe (low throughput) can only let a little water through per minute. A thick pipe (high throughput) can let a whole swimming pool's worth of water through in the same time.
