Spring Batch is a lightweight, comprehensive batch framework for Java and Spring that enables development of robust batch applications. It provides reusable features like chunk-based processing, transaction management, retry/skip, and job restart for processing large volumes of records.

Use cases

• process large volumes of records in nightly batch jobs
• build restartable ETL jobs with transaction management
• run high-volume data migration jobs with retry and skip logic
• partition batch workloads for parallel processing
• schedule daily enterprise batch processing on the JVM
• track job processing statistics and history in a database

When to choose

• you need robust, restartable batch jobs with transactional chunk processing
• you are already on the Spring/Spring Boot ecosystem
• you need high-volume, partitioned or parallel batch processing
• you need job metadata, restart, skip, and retry out of the box

When to avoid

• you need lightweight ad-hoc scripting rather than managed batch jobs
• your workload is real-time streaming rather than batch
• you are not using the JVM or Spring ecosystem
• you only need a simple cron-scheduled script without job state tracking
