What's an order backlog?

An order backlog is the total value of orders a company has received but hasn't yet fulfilled. For CoreWeave, their record £104 billion backlog shows huge future demand for their AI computing services. It's a positive sign of future revenue, but also highlights the challenge of scaling up operations to meet that demand.
