Behind the Scenes at Spring Batch

Spring Batch has a large user base and a good track record in production systems, but what is it all really about, and why does it work? This presentation provides a short bootstrap to get a new user started with the Batch domain, showing the key concepts and explaining the benefits of the framework. Then it goes into a deeper dive and looks at what holds it all together, with a close look at some of the most important but least understood features, including restart, retry and transactions.
