Can you explain what Spring Batch is and in what cases it is used for data processing?

Spring Batch is a Java framework for batch processing large volumes of data. It provides infrastructure for creating reliable, scalable, and repeatable batch processes.

Spring Batch is used when:

• Processing large volumes of data in chunks.
• Performing tasks with the ability to restart after failures.
• Automating complex sequences of processing steps (jobs with steps).
• Managing transactions, logging, and execution monitoring.

An example of its application is importing data from a file into a database, processing and aggregating data, and generating reports.
