asynchronous-flow

Vocabulary Word

Definition

'Asynchronous flow' is when different jobs or tasks can happen at different times and don't have to wait for each other to finish. It makes it possible to do more things faster because you're not hanging around waiting.

Examples in Different Contexts

In backend development, 'asynchronous flow' allows a server to handle multiple requests at the same time. A backend developer might say, 'Using asynchronous flow, our server efficiently manages thousands of simultaneous user requests.'

Practice Scenarios

Operations

Scenario:

A shorter lead time is critical for meeting our customer demands. We should look at innovating our production line.

Response:

Switching to an asynchronous flow in our production line would noticeably improve output and reduce lead time.

Tech

Scenario:

The response time of our new software is running longer than expected. We may need to improve our code execution practices.

Response:

An asynchronous flow will undoubtedly reduce the chances of system freezing and improve our software's overall performance.
