For example, if we talk about Measuring Request LatencyMeasuring Request Latency
Latency is the time taken to serve a request, and is one of [[The Four Golden Signals of Monitoring]].
The most common metric looked at here is usually the [[Mean]] latency, but this can easily be..., 95th percentile is the time in which 95% of all the requests will be completed.
Looking at the 99th percentile will give us a time in which all of our requests would be completed, excluding the slowest 1%.
