问题
I have a clarification.
Is it possible for us to run multiple instances of a job at the same time.
Currently, we have single instance of a job at any given time.
If it is possible, please let me know how to do it.

Yes you can. Spring Batch distinguishes jobs based on the JobParameters. So if you always pass different JobParameters to the same job, you will have multiple instances of the same job running. A simple way is just to add a UUID parameter to each request to start a job. Example:
final JobParametersBuilder jobParametersBuilder = new JobParametersBuilder();
jobParametersBuilder.addString("instance_id", UUID.randomUUID().toString(), true);
jobLauncher.run(job,jobParametersBuilder.toJobParameters());
The boolean 'true' at the end signal to Spring Batch to use that parameter as part of the 'identity' of the instance of the job, so you will always get new instances with each 'run' of the job.

Yes you can very much run tasks in parallel as also documented here
But there are certain things to be considered
- Does your application logic needs parallel execution? Because if if you are going to run steps in parallel, you would have to take care and build application logic so that the work done by parallel steps is not overlapping (Unless that is the intention of your application)

Yes, it's completely possible to have multiple instances (or executions) of a job run concurrently.
