Description: Latency analysis refers to the examination of latency characteristics in a system to identify potential improvements. Latency is the time that elapses from the initiation of an action until the corresponding response is received. In the context of real-time systems, latency is critical, as these systems must respond to events in a predictable and controlled manner. In data streaming, latency affects the quality of the user experience, as delays in transmission can result in interruptions or desynchronization. Monitoring and analyzing latency is essential to ensure that applications run efficiently and without issues. Tools like Grafana allow for the visualization of latency metrics, facilitating the identification of bottlenecks. Various frameworks and platforms are used to process real-time data streams, where latency is a key factor for performance. In edge computing, latency is reduced by processing data closer to the source, improving response speed. Finally, content delivery networks (CDNs) are designed to minimize latency by distributing content across multiple geographic locations, ensuring that users access data from the nearest server.
