Batch processing is a pervasive workload pattern, expressed by a distinct application organization and execution model. It is found across virtually every industry, applied to such tasks as statement generation, bank postings, risk evaluation, credit score calculation, inventory management, portfolio optimization, and on and on. Nearly any bulk processing task from any business sector is a candidate for batch processing. Batch processing is typified by bulk-oriented, non-interactive, background execution. Frequently long- running, it may be data or computationally intensive, execute sequentially or in parallel, and may be initiated through various invocation models, including ad hoc, scheduled, and on-demand. Batch applications have common requirements, including logging, checkpointing, and parallelization. Batch workloads have common requirements, especially operational control, which allow for initiation of, and interaction with, batch instances; such interactions include stop and restart.

Stepping is a framework designed to ease the implementation of data processing solutions. In use cases where we need to implement data or data-streaming algorithms or any other processing on data, we need to first handle many different infrastructure issues. For example, we need to decide how to split the data processing logic into different steps, think about our threading policy, how to handle communication between the different steps, error handling etc. One of the most important subjects is the Threading Policy of our solution. For example, we need to think how many threads to open, have the option to distribute the processing of data to multiple 'executors' in parallel, have a thread-safe communication layer between the threads etc. On top of that we also care a lot about the performance of our solution, we want to make sure that the latency added by these infrastructures is minimal as possible. Stepping aims to handle many of these aspects so developers can spend their time on the business logic instead of solving these infrastructure and data flow issues issues over and over again.
