Batch Processing in Spring Microservices with Spring Batch
Introduction
Microservices architecture has become a dominant approach in developing scalable and maintainable applications. It breaks a monolithic system into a collection of small, loosely coupled services that can be developed, deployed, and scaled independently. While microservices are well-suited for real-time processing and handling HTTP requests, batch processing remains an integral part of many applications. Spring Batch, a part of the Spring ecosystem, provides a comprehensive solution for batch processing.
In this post, we will delve into the integration of Spring Batch within Spring Microservices to facilitate batch processing tasks. We will cover the basics of Spring Batch, its components, and how it can be incorporated within a microservices architecture.
Introduction to Spring Batch
In the realm of software applications, data processing is inevitable. Whether we’re talking about processing millions of transactions, migrating data between systems, or generating complex reports, these large-scale operations aren’t suited for real-time processing. Here’s where batch processing enters the picture, and Spring Batch stands out as a preferred solution for many.
