Latency in backend systems refers to the delay or time it takes for a request to be processed and responded to, where low latency (e.g., 50 milliseconds) indicates fast response times while high latency (e.g., 5 seconds) indicates slow response times that users experience directly as frustrating delays, making latency reduction a primary focus of backend optimization.

Backend Latency Explained in 60 seconds🔥💻🚀 #shorts #interview #coding #latency #systemdesign #jobAdded:
In back-end, what is latency? Latency means delay. In back-end systems, it usually means how long a request takes.
Suppose API takes 50 milliseconds, that's low latency. Suppose it takes 5 seconds, that's high latency. Users feel latency directly. Slow systems [music] feel frustrating. Back-end optimization is often about reducing latency as much as possible.
