![]() So I thought of working on a system that would be more similar to the Kotlin approach above. Yes, it’s a more powerful way of handling this type of background work, but look at that Kotlin sample above! It’s short, simple, clean. Then earlier this week, I saw Steve Gordon blogged about using IHostedService in ASP.NET Core 2.0, and I noticed this was potentially the same. We have a few other occasions, but they all share one pattern: a simple background fetch of data, moving it outside of the request path. Twice a day, we fetch the list of employees for some other functionality. This same approach is taken in various other places of the application. We just tell our application to refresh the list of releases every two hours, without having to do this in a request path. While those approaches all work, they are all more complex than what we see in the above code sample. NET which is either coming up with our own scheduling system, or coming up with a crazy approach that uses timestamps, or use ObjectCache and check whether data expired or not. In this example, our bot uses the releasesList to return data about upcoming product releases when someone asks on Slack.įor this case, I kind of like the approach of being able to populate a list of data every 2 hours (or whetever the cron string dictates), instead of doing what we typically do in. Turns out that the attribute is part of the Spring framework and allows simple scheduling of background tasks. You simply use the GlobalConfiguration class to configure the entry point.Wondering what it did, I asked around and did some research. What differs is where you put this configuration.īut it is incredibly straight forward. ![]() Install-Package HangFire.Core -Version 1.5.6 ConfigurationĬonfiguration is the same if you are in an ASP.NET Web Application or any other project type. If you plan on using in any other project type (Windows Service, Console, OWIN-Compatible Web Application, Azure Worker Role) or different storage mechanism, you can install the Hangfire.Core. If you plan on using Hangfire within an ASP.NET Web Application and want to use SQL Server as your storage mechanism, then you can install the boostrapper package which has everything you need. ![]() There are two ways in which you can get started. I do however just want to give you enough to show you how simple it is to use and let you decide if its a viable solution for you. The docs are really good over at the Hangfire site, so I don’t want to rewrite what is already over there. You can use Hangfire on different machines to get more processing power with no configuration – synchronization is performed automatically. Open and free for commercial use.īackground method calls and their arguments are serialized and may overcome the process boundaries. No Windows Service required.īacked by persistent storages. Hangfire has this problem solved.Īn easy way to perform fire-and-forget, delayed and recurring tasks inside ASP.NET applications. When I was trying to find a solution, I need to have tasks distributed across multiple worker services. ![]() NET console application running as a service with Topshelf. I stumbled upon Hangfire a couple years ago when trying to find solution to running background tasks in a.
