NBatch

NuGet Version NuGet Downloads CI

A lightweight batch processing framework for .NET, inspired by Spring Batch.

📖 Full Documentation — guides, API reference, and examples.

NBatch gives you a declarative, step-based pipeline for ETL jobs, data migrations, and scheduled tasks. Wire up readers, processors, and writers — NBatch handles chunking, error skipping, progress tracking, and restart-from-failure.

Packages

Package Description
NBatch Core framework — interfaces, chunking, skip policies, CsvReader, DbReader/DbWriter, DI, hosted service
NBatch.EntityFrameworkCore EF Core job store for restart-from-failure (SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SQLite, MySQL/MariaDB) 
dotnet add package NBatch
dotnet add package NBatch.EntityFrameworkCore   # only if you need persistent job tracking

Examples

var job = Job.CreateBuilder("ETL")
    .AddStep("extract-transform", step => step
        .ReadFrom(new CsvReader<Order>(...))
        .WriteTo(new DbWriter<Order>(...))
        .WithChunkSize(100))
    .AddStep("notify", step => step
        .Execute(() => SendEmail()))
    .Build();

With SQL-backed job store for restart-from-failure

var job = Job.CreateBuilder("csv-import")
    .UseJobStore(connStr, DatabaseProvider.SqlServer)   // optional — enables restart-from-failure
    .AddStep("import", step => step
        .ReadFrom(new CsvReader<Product>("data.csv", mapFn)
        .ProcessWith(p => new Product { Name = p.Name.ToUpper(), Price = p.Price })
        .WriteTo(new DbWriter<Product>(dbContext))
        .WithSkipPolicy(SkipPolicy.For<FormatException>(maxSkips: 5))
        .WithChunkSize(100))
    .AddStep("notify", step => step
        .Execute(() => SendEmail()))
    .Build();

await job.RunAsync();

With Dependency Injection & Hosted Service

builder.Services.AddNBatch(nbatch =>
{
    nbatch.AddJob("csv-import", (sp, job) => job
        .AddStep("import", step => step
            .ReadFrom(new CsvReader<Product>("data.csv", mapFn))
            .WriteTo(new DbWriter<Product>(sp.GetRequiredService<AppDbContext>()))
            .WithChunkSize(100)))
        .RunEvery(TimeSpan.FromHours(1));
});

Highlights

  • Chunk-oriented processing — read, transform, and write in configurable batches
  • Skip policies — skip malformed records instead of aborting the job
  • Restart from failure — SQL-backed job store resumes where a crashed job left off
  • Tasklet steps — fire-and-forget work (send an email, call an API, run a stored proc)
  • Lambda-friendly — processors and writers can be plain lambdas; no extra classes needed
  • DI & hosted service — AddNBatch(), RunOnce(), RunEvery() for background jobs
  • Multi-target — .NET 8, .NET 9, and .NET 10
  • Provider-agnostic — SQL Server, PostgreSQL, SQLite, or MySQL for the job store; any EF Core provider for your data
