Software Architecture with Spring 5.0

By: René Enríquez, Alberto Salazar

Overview of this book

Spring 5 and its ecosystem can be used to build robust architectures effectively. Software architecture is the underlying piece that helps us accomplish our business goals whilst supporting the features that a product demands. This book explains in detail how to choose the right architecture and apply best practices during your software development cycle to avoid technical debt and support every business requirement. Choosing the right architecture model to support your business requirements is one of the key decisions you need to take when a new product is being created from scratch or is being refactored to support new business demands. This book gives you insights into the most common architectural models and guides you when and where they can be used. During this journey, you’ll see cutting-edge technologies surrounding the Spring products, and understand how to use agile techniques such as DevOps and continuous delivery to take your software to production effectively. By the end of this book, you’ll not only know the ins and outs of Spring, but also be able to make critical design decisions that surpass your clients’ expectations.

Spring Batch


Spring Batch is a complete framework for creating a robust batch application (https://projects.spring.io/spring-batch/). We can create reusable functions to process large volumes of data or tasks, commonly known as bulk processing.

Spring Batch provides many useful features, such as the following:

  • Logging and tracing
  • Transaction management
  • Job statistics
  • Managing the process; for example, through restarting jobs, skipping steps, and resource management
  • Administration Web Console

This framework is designed to manage a high volume of data and achieve high-performance batch processes by using partition features. We will start with a simple project, to explain each principal component of Spring Batch.

As mentioned in the Spring Batch documentation (https://docs.spring.io/spring-batch/trunk/reference/html/spring-batch-intro.html), the most common scenarios for using the framework are as follows:

  • Committing batch processes periodically
  • Concurrent batch processing for parallel processing a job...
