Broadcast Queue

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. A queue or messaging pattern in which published items are distributed to multiple listeners or consumer groups rather than being consumed by just one worker. Broadcast queues are useful when several independent components must react to the same event stream.

    In plain English: A queue or message system that delivers the same event to multiple consumers.

    Example: "The order event bus acted like a broadcast queue so analytics, notifications, and billing all received the same event independently."
