Abstract

Although Spring Batch is a commonly cited framework for large-scale batch data processing in enterprise Java applications, using it in conjunction with cloud-native microservices architectures on Google Cloud Platform (GCP) brings design challenges that are just as significant as those faced in on-premises deployment scenarios with regards to job partitioning, fault handling, event scales and observability. The aim of this paper is to perform a systematic investigation of the four patterns of the Spring Batch framework specifically tailored for cloud-native microservices running on GCP: job partitioning patterns to achieve distributed computing, remote chunking patterns to achieve horizontal scaling, Cloud Pub/Sub integration patterns for event-driven batch triggering, and Stackdriver-based patterns for bull batch monitoring in production. Benefits of using enterprise data processing workloads are clearly illustrated through a series of case studies that show measurable gains in throughput and operational reliability in workloads when compared to the traditional batch deployment model.
