Step 1: Add  @EnableAsync annotation and Add TaskExecutor Bean to Application Class      @EnableAsync annotation turns on Spring’s ability to run @Async methods in a background thread pool. This class customizes the used TaskExecutor. Here I am limiting the number of concurrent threads to 3 and the size of the queue to 600. Here is the code:
