Definitive Guide to Spring Batch: Modern Finite Batch Processing in the Cloud

This book provides up-to-date examples using the latest configuration techniques based on Java configuration and Spring Boot. It covers how running finite tasks on cloud infrastructure in a standardized way has changed where batch applications are run, and how Spring Batch 4 takes advantage of Java 9, Spring Framework 5, and the new Spring Boot 2 micro-framework. It is for experienced Java and Spring coders new to the Spring Batch platform, and will be useful in allowing even experienced Spring Batch users and developers to maximize the Spring Batch tool.

The Definitive Guide to Spring Batch is a comprehensive resource for developers looking to work with batch processing in a modern Java environment. Written by experienced authors, the book provides up-to-date examples using the latest configuration techniques based on Java configuration and Spring Boot.

The book covers a wide range of topics, from the basics of batch processing to advanced cloud-native techniques. It begins with an introduction to batch processing and its importance in modern IT, then moves on to cover the fundamentals of Spring Batch and its architecture.

Chapter 1 provides an overview of Spring Batch and its features, including job execution, tasklet execution, and batch configuration. It also introduces the Spring Boot framework, which simplifies the development of Spring applications.

Chapter 2 covers the basics of job execution, including job definition, scheduling, and execution. It demonstrates how to create and configure jobs using XML and Java configuration, as well as how to execute jobs using the Spring Batch API.

Chapter 3 explores tasklet execution, which is a key component of Spring Batch. It covers how to create and configure tasklet steps, as well as how to execute them using the Spring Batch API.

Chapter 4 covers batch configuration, including the use of job parameters, chained jobs, and job listeners. It also demonstrates how to integrate Spring Batch with other Spring frameworks, such as Spring Cloud and Spring Data Flow.

Chapter 5 covers advanced topics in Spring Batch, such as batch processing in the cloud, fault tolerance, and performance optimization. It provides practical examples of how to implement these features using Spring Batch and other technologies.

Chapter 6 covers the use of Spring Batch with other technologies, such as Spring Cloud Task and Spring Cloud Data Flow. It demonstrates how to integrate Spring Batch with these frameworks to create cloud-native batch applications.

Chapter 7 provides a conclusion and summarizes the key concepts covered in the book.

Throughout the book, the authors use practical examples to illustrate the concepts and techniques discussed. The examples are based on real-world scenarios and are designed to help developers understand how to apply Spring Batch in their own projects.

The book also includes a foreword by Dave Syer, the founder of the Spring Batch project. In the foreword, Syer discusses the history and evolution of Spring Batch and its importance in modern batch processing.

Overall, The Definitive Guide to Spring Batch is a comprehensive and practical resource for developers looking to work with batch processing in a modern Java environment. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced developer, this book will help you develop and deploy batch applications that are efficient, reliable, and scalable.
