Spring Batch remote partitioning

This repo contains 2 examples for Spring Batch remote partitioning; one with Kafka and the other with AWS SQS.

The Kafka example is explained in this article: Scaling Spring Batch processing with partitioning using Kafka

The AWS SQS example is explained in this article: Spring Batch Remote Partitioning With AWS SQS

Running the examples

Both of the example projects are quite self contained so the running procedure is the same.

First of all, start the necessary infrastructure using docker-compose by running docker-compose up in the project's folder. This will start up either a Kafka cluster with Kafka UI along with a MySQL database; or for the AWS SQS case, it'll start up localstack to be able to emulate SQS locally along with a MySQL database.

Then, open 4 terminal windows for one of the projects. 3 terminals will run 3 worker instances and the 4th will run the manager to partition the data.

For the worker instances, run the following:

$ ./gradlew bootRun --args='--spring.profiles.active=worker'

For the manager instance, run the following:

$ ./gradlew bootRun --args='--spring.profiles.active=manager'
