Hangfire
A .NET library for background job processing with fire-and-forget, delayed, and recurring tasks, no Windows Service required.
What is Hangfire?
Hangfire is a .NET library that enables background job processing directly within .NET and .NET Core applications. It solves the problem of handling asynchronous tasks like sending emails, processing files, or generating reports without requiring separate Windows Services or external schedulers. By providing fire-and-forget, delayed, and recurring job support, it simplifies offloading work from the main application thread.
.NET developers building web applications, console apps, or services that require reliable background task execution, such as those working on e-commerce platforms, content management systems, or data processing pipelines.
Developers choose Hangfire for its ease of integration, built-in dashboard for job monitoring, and support for persistent storage backends like SQL Server and Redis. Its ability to run within the same process as the application eliminates deployment complexity while ensuring job reliability across different hosting environments.
