decoupler
Severs linked systems
A decoupler is a device or mechanism that separates connected systems, allowing them to operate independently.
In electronics, decouplers filter noise between circuits.
In plumbing, they prevent backflow between pipes.
In broader technical contexts, anything that breaks a dependency between components: The software uses a message queue as a decoupler between services.
