All this because I told one guy who asked "what exactly is “cronService”? you write in each service or copy/paste each time you need it?" that they can reuse code by writing a library instead of copy/pasting it? If this is the level of incompetence encouraged by a framework, I would avoid using it just to avoid the chance of hiring people like you. Just kidding. Spring boot is great. But yeah, I would fire people with this attitude without blinking an eye.

* Why would I write my own database driver or encryption just because I wanted to implement my own "cronService"?* how do you decide whether you will write your own or pull in a dependency? this is a legit question. you did start this with writing your own “cronService” (which is about as insane as writing your own database driver) so asked about it.

Spring Boot’s support for async jobs and scheduled jobs is lacking. A lot of people roll their own. Including yours truly. It is also much easier than writing a database driver so there is that.

    Spring Boot’s support for async jobs and scheduled jobs is lacking. Can you elaborate? What exactly is lacking and what version of Spring are you using?!

      Compare with the functionality offered by async job systems of other full stack frameworks - eg django with celery and rails with solid-queue. It’s not even close. I am on the latest version of Spring Boot.

        I am not saying there aren't more robust scheduling libraries, people still use Quartz a lot in the Java ecosystem - was just wondering what specifically are you up against that you cannot solve with Spring's scheduling?
