Cloud Queue

Definitions

1. A managed queue service in the cloud used to buffer tasks, events, or messages between producers and consumers. Cloud queues simplify asynchronous architectures by handling durability, scaling, retries, and visibility without teams operating queue brokers directly.

   In plain English: A cloud-managed queue used for asynchronous message or task processing.

   Example: "The import API wrote jobs to a cloud queue so worker capacity could scale independently from user request traffic."
