P95
In plain terms
The 95th-percentile value of a measurement.
Going deeper
P95 is the value below which 95% of observations fall, a common latency target balancing typical and tail behavior. It captures most users' experience.
Under the hood
Less extreme than p99 but still reflects real worst-case for most users; common in SLOs.
Examples
Latency SLOs, performance targets, monitoring, response-time goals.
Think of it like...
Like ensuring 95 out of 100 trips finish within a target time.
