Service Broker (SQL Server)

SQL Server Service Broker is a technology that enables reliable, asynchronous communication within or between databases. It functions like a sophisticated messaging system, allowing different parts of an application to send and receive messages without waiting for immediate responses. This helps improve performance and scalability by decoupling processes, ensuring that tasks can run independently and efficiently. Essentially, Service Broker manages the delivery, ordering, and processing of messages, making complex workflows smoother and more reliable in database environments.
