Today we’ll talk about Throughput metric. Why is it so important, how to read it’s patterns and what to be cautious about.

Premise

Imagine walking into a bar on a Friday evening, exhausted, and ordering a beer flight. The bartender thinks:

“Over the past hour we completed 12 orders; there are 4 in progress; this will be the fifth. Your flight will arrive in 20–25 minutes.”

There are no subjective complexity estimates - only historical data to forecast wait time. Wouldn’t it be great if an IT team could plan as simply, honestly, and predictably? ~~Ha-ha, you wish~~
