Spring Batch 5.2 and Beyond: What’s New and What’s Coming Next
summary
Spring Batch 5.2 adds a MongoDB job repository (document model, Spring Data) that benchmarks ~2x faster than Postgres on a 100k-item job (41s → 19s), plus a resources job repository (in-memory, near-instant, two orders faster) for idempotent runs. New features include a composite item reader, functional adapters for Supplier/Consumer, and concurrent steps built on a blocking queue (stage/event-driven). Spring Batch 6 plans new chunk/concurrency models, remote step support, Java 17 baseline, and 5.2 commercial support through 2032 (open-source support ends mid‑2026).
