What alternatives exist to Spring Batch to handle queued jobs?

Question

I have been looking in to Spring Batch to solve a batch processing scenario with huge amount of data involved in each job. Are there any other solutions that compete with Spring Batch? To be used in a Java EE environment.

I think https://camunda.com/ can also be used as an alternative. you can use Camunda Platform 7 as an embedded engine to orchestrate their Java code (using Spring Boot or Tomcat) — firstpostcommenter, Jun 16 '22 at 17:36

Batch support is now available in Java EE 7 via JSR 352: Batch applications for the Java platform.

See Batch Applications in Java EE 7 - Undertanding JSR 352 Concepts for some more info.

Well the uber-king of big-data batch processing is Hadoop, but that can be rather tricky to set up, to put it mildly.

Try easyBatch. The simple stupid Batch framework. Try it once and use it forever. https://github.com/j-easy/easy-batch

There is also JobRunr - It is a port of Hangfire to Java.

It allows to schedule simple Java 8 lamdbda's as follows:

BackgroundJob.enqueue(() -> System.out.println("this will be done in a background process, perhaps even on a different server"));

More info on https://www.jobrunr.io or https://github.com/jobrunr/jobrunr.

P.s.: I'm the creator of JobRunr so I might be biased.

hello, is there anyway to try batch processing without purchasing? it is good if there is key and expires after 1 week. i compare same task by using spring batch and jobrunr-spring-boot-starter in terms of usage and time complexity – denizg Jul 05 '21 at 10:57
Please mail me at hello@jobrunr.io to see what we can work out. – rdehuyss Jul 06 '21 at 13:10
@rdehuyss Is it possible to combine Spring Batch with JobRunr? – trshiv Feb 13 '23 at 13:27
@trshiv: I think it would be possible (I haven't tried it, though), but I don't see the added value of combining the 2 of them. – rdehuyss Feb 13 '23 at 16:58
