Background Queue

Definitions

1. A queue used to hold work that should be processed later by background workers rather than during the original request or interaction. Background queues help smooth bursts, isolate slow tasks, and keep user-facing paths responsive.

   In plain English: A queue that holds jobs for background workers to process later.

   Example: "The app moved PDF generation into a background queue so account creation could return immediately while documents were rendered asynchronously."
