Can't you use insert with parameters? This way you will prepare the
statement only once and just execute it many times with different
parameters.

Doing insert with multiple statements without parameters can hurt
performance. Statement must be prepared every time and that takes time
and round-trip to the server.

What language/library you will use to do this job?

regarding the size of batch you can do some testing. performance might
depend on the number of threads in this case.

You need to find the right balance because in case of failure the whole
batch will fail.
