Idempotence (which you may read a formal definition of on Wikipedia), when we are talking about messaging, is when a message re-delivery can be handled without ending up in an unintended state.

Since we always run the risk of processing the same message twice, it is a good idea to think a little bit about idempotence from time to time.

Please read the page about delivery guarantees if it is not clear at this point why we might process the same message twice.
