Forespørselsdrevet

Forespørselsdrevet refers to a methodology or approach where actions, processes, or systems are initiated or guided by specific requests or queries. This contrasts with systems that might operate on a continuous, scheduled, or event-driven basis. In a forespørselsdrevet system, a user or another system explicitly asks for something to be done, and the system then fulfills that specific request.

This concept is common in computing and software development. For example, a database system is often forespørselsdrevet, as users submit queries (requests) to retrieve, insert, update, or delete data. Similarly, web applications typically operate on a forespørselsdrevet model, where a user's browser sends a request to a server, and the server responds with the requested information or action.

In a business context, forespørselsdrevet might describe a customer service model where support agents act upon incoming customer inquiries. It can also apply to manufacturing or supply chain operations that produce goods or deliver services only when specific orders or demands are received. The primary characteristic is the reactive nature of the system, waiting for an explicit prompt before proceeding. This ensures resources are used efficiently by only acting when there is a defined need.
