I tried to implement Spring Cloud Task in my application and from reading documentation I understood that it uses relational database to store the state of the Spring Cloud Task. But in the documentation there is also this sentence:

What does that sentence stating that it is possible to start developing Task without the database mean ? It states that the status of task is logged as part of repository updates.

Does this mean that I can use Spring Cloud Task without declaring the database ? If so, what needs to be done, because when I try to launch my application it asks for DataSource ?
