Understanding Latency Issues Through Data Visualization

Explore the role of data visualization in understanding latency issues. Learn to evaluate performance using CDF.

Recently, I was validating performance improvements related to lld but struggled to see significant changes in live production dashboards due to noisy data. A colleague had successfully used a cumulative distribution function (CDF) to visualize data, prompting me to explore various visualization methods. This post will demonstrate how different approaches can reveal distinct narratives from the same dataset.
