Spring Cloud Data Flow is a cloud-based service offering that produces microservice applications with latest runtime systems. This is especially useful in producing applications that can handle big-data-related features, such as data ingest, real-time analytics, and data import/export. It can produce, stream and task/batch microservice applications based on Spring Boot, which can natively run in modern runtimes, such as Cloud Foundry, Apache YARN, Apache Mesos, and Kubernetes.
