Hands-On High Performance with Spring 5

TaskScheduler

Sometimes, we need to perform a task at fixed intervals, and this can be achieved with the Spring scheduler framework. In this section, we will see how we can schedule a task in Spring with the use of a few annotations.

Let's see a simple example of scheduling a task in the Spring application:
