alt Hacker NewsOnce you've read this, pick up Harchol–Balter's book Performance Modeling and Design of Computer Systems: Queueing Theory in Action. It's a really good introduction to the depth of this topic, and you'll come out with superpowers you didn't have before.

Even if you just read the first few chapters of this you will not come out unchanged.
I don't think this is a good resource for an intro tbh. Unless you are interested in proofs and have some probability basics covered, it feels quite dense.
I liked Principles of Product Development Flow a lot more because it was easier to digest, although it's a different application of queuing theory.
