The key steps behind enabling Async methods in Spring are here: 1) Enable async processing in Spring Boot by annotation Spring Boot Application class with @EnableAsync 2) Create a ThreadPoolExecutor to run async methods in separate threads 3) Annotate the methods that need to be run in separate threads with @Async annotation This is explained in the blog post at the Spring site.
