Batch processing remains a cornerstone for enterprise systems that handle large volumes of dataโ€”think ETL, data migration, reporting, and background jobs. As Java developers, we need robust, scalable, and fault-tolerant solutions, and thatโ€™s where ๐—ฆ๐—ฝ๐—ฟ๐—ถ๐—ป๐—ด ๐—•๐—ฎ๐˜๐—ฐ๐—ต shines.

Spring Batch, built on the Spring ecosystem, brings a comprehensive suite of tools for batch job orchestration. Its architecture is layered for extensibility, separating your application logic from core runtime and infrastructure services, making it easy to build, configure, and scale batch jobs.
