Fan-Out/Fan-In

Intent

The pattern is used when a source system needs to run one or more long-running processes that will fetch some data. The source will not block itself waiting for the reply.
The pattern will run the same function in multiple services or machines to fetch the data. This is equivalent to invoking the function multiple times on different chunks of data.
