## What it is
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

## Facets
- artifact type: framework
