Viral videos are nothing new. However, the ability to analyze the traffic they generate and gather meaningful information is new to most enterprises. In this talk, we’ll look at a viral video (the “Star Wars Kid”) and the log files it generated. We’ll cover basic batch concepts as we build a robust, scalable batch application using Spring Batch to answer the question of who was watching this video when it went viral. No experience in Spring Batch is required for this talk.
