Batch Operation

Definitions

1. An operation that handles multiple items in one request or execution unit rather than processing each item individually. Batch operations can improve throughput and reduce overhead, but they need careful handling of partial failure, retries, and reporting per-item results.

   In plain English: An operation that processes many items at once instead of one by one.

   Example: "The API added a batch operation for status updates so mobile clients no longer had to send hundreds of tiny requests in sequence."
