Async Pool

Definitions

1. A mechanism for limiting and coordinating how many asynchronous tasks may run concurrently, often to avoid overwhelming external services or local resources. Async pools are useful when a workload is parallelizable but still needs bounded fan-out.

   In plain English: A concurrency limiter that runs only a controlled number of async tasks at once.

   Example: "The migration used an async pool of twenty workers so the team could speed up processing without melting the upstream API."
