Spring Batch is an open source framework for batch processing. It is a lightweight, comprehensive solution designed to enable the development of robust batch applications,[1] which are often found in modern enterprise systems. Spring Batch builds upon the POJO-based development approach of the Spring Framework.[2]
Spring Batch provides reusable functions that are essential in processing large volumes of records,[3]: 714–717, §12 including logging/tracing, transaction management, job processing statistics,[3]: 536–537, §12-7 job restart, skip, and resource management. It also provides more advanced technical services and features that will enable extremely high-volume and high performance batch jobs[3]: 511–512, 518–519, §12 through optimization and partitioning techniques.[2] Simple as well as complex,[3]: 520, §12-2 high-volume batch jobs can leverage the framework in a highly scalable manner to process significant volumes of information.[2]
