Spring Cloud Task Application Starters are Spring Boot applications that may be any process including Spring Batch jobs that do not run forever, and they end/stop at some point. Spring Cloud Task Applications can be used with Spring Cloud Data Flow to create, deploy, and orchestrate short-lived data microservices.
Spring Cloud Task Application Starters are standalone executable applications that can be used for on-demand use-cases such as database migration, machine learning, and scheduled operations. These applications can run independently on variety of runtime platforms including: Cloud Foundry, Apache Yarn, Apache Mesos, Kubernetes, Docker, or even on your laptop.
Features
- Run standalone as Spring Boot applications
- Orchestrate as ephemeral data microservices
- Consume data microservice applications as maven or docker artifacts
- Override configuration parameters via command-line, environment variables, or YAML file
- Provide infrastructure to test the applications in isolation
- Download as starters from this version of Spring Initializr
