title: Spring Boot Application as a Daemon Service?
body: <p>I'm a new who are getting started learning Spring Boot. I'm feeling that It's really helpful and great tool to develop Java application easily.</p>
  
  <p>On the other hand, I'm considering developing a Daemon Service which collects data/message(s) from Apache Kafka via Kafka Consumer API and do some process about the retrieved data. This whole processes, of course, are done periodically.</p>
  
  <p>So I've been developing the application as a Daemon by using Apache Commons Daemon. I now, however, want to use Spring Boot instead of it. </p>
  
  <p>Is it possible implementing such service application via Spring Boot? If possible, please let me know how it could be implemented. Thanks in advance!</p>
