Command Queue

Definitions

1. A queue that stores commands for later processing by one or more workers or handlers. Command queues are useful when commands should be decoupled from the caller, rate-limited, retried, or executed in a controlled sequence.

   In plain English: A queue that holds commands to be processed later.

   Example: "The control plane used a command queue so infrastructure changes could be retried safely without blocking the API that accepted the request."
