An easy way to perform background processing in .NET and .NET Core applications. No Windows Service or separate process required. Backed by persistent storage. Open and free for commercial use. Easy to set up, easy to use. No Windows Service, no Windows Scheduler, no separate applications required. Background jobs are regular static or instance .NET methods with regular arguments, no base class or interface implementation required. Once a background job was created without any exception, Hangfire takes the responsibility to process it with the at least once semantics. Although the default installation uses SQL Server and polling technique to fetch jobs, you can leverage MSMQ or Redis extensions to reduce the processing latency to minimum. Background method calls and their arguments are serialized and may overcome the process boundaries. Job filters allow you to add custom features to the background processing in a way similar to ASP.NET MVC action filters.

Features

  • Fire-and-forget jobs are executed only once and almost immediately after creation
  • Delayed jobs are executed only once too, but not immediately, after a certain time interval
  • Recurring jobs fire many times on the specified CRON schedule
  • Continuations are executed when its parent job has been finished
  • Batch is a group of background jobs that is created atomically and considered as a single entity
  • Batch continuation is fired when all background jobs in a parent batch finished
