Spring Batch on Kubernetes: Efficient batch processing at scale
Introduction
Batch processing has been a challenging area of computer science since its inception in the early days of punch cards and magnetic tapes. Nowadays, the modern cloud computing era comes with a whole new set of challenges for how to develop and operate batch workload efficiently in a cloud environment. In this blog post, I introduce some of the challenges a batch developer or architect may face when designing and running batch applications at scale and show how Spring Batch, Spring Boot and Kubernetes can tremendously simplify this task.
