A concise overview of five essential system design performance metrics: availability (measured in 'nines'), throughput (RPS/QPS/TPS), latency (propagation, processing, RTT), scalability (vertical vs. horizontal), and redundancy (active-passive vs. active-active). Each metric is explained with practical examples, common measurement approaches, and strategies to improve it.
