Step Execution In Spring Batch
Spring Batch concept offers processing of data in the form of batch jobs. It offers reusable functions for processing huge volumes of records. It also includes a logging/tracing, transaction management, job processing statics, skip, job restart, and resource management. Spring Batch takes care of all that with an optimal performance.

For example, let’s assume you have a report generation system, where you need to read a high volume of data from a database and write the same data in a CSV file.

Obviously, in this case the database will be source and CSV file will be the destination.
What are the common use cases of Spring Batch?
- ETL (Extract, Transform, Load)
- Data Migration
- Parallel Processing
- Reporting
- Exchange of Information
