TOPIC:  Spring Batch

6:30 to 7:00 Pizza
7:00 Main Meeting

Abstract: What do your bank statement, vulnerability scanning and ETL processes all have in common?  They are all forms of batch processes.  Since its release, Spring Framework has transformed virtually every aspect of Java development including web applications, security, aspect-oriented programming, persistence, and messaging. Spring Batch, one of its newer additions, now brings the same familiar Spring idioms to batch processing. Spring Batch addresses the needs of any batch process, from the complex calculations performed in the biggest financial institutions to simple data migrations that occur with many software development projects.  Michael will talk about what batch is, how Spring approaches the concepts of batch and how Spring handles scaling batch processes to be able to handle any volume of data.
