This project contains practical examples of background processing patterns using .NET’s built-in worker infrastructure. It demonstrates how to build reliable, maintainable, and production-ready background tasks.
Background services are essential for tasks that run outside the
request/response cycle. This repo showcases different ways to use
BackgroundService and IHostedService to execute recurring jobs, consume
queues, and handle long-running workloads.
- Scheduled and timed background jobs
- Queue-based worker consumers
- Long-running job execution
- Graceful cancellation and shutdown
- Dependency injection for worker services
- Logging and operational visibility
- Processing messages from queues
- Performing scheduled cleanup jobs
- Running hourly/daily batch tasks
- Monitoring tasks or background calculations
- Integrating background workflows into microservices
- .NET
- BackgroundService / IHostedService
- Dependency Injection
- Logging Extensions
A clear reference for implementing and organizing background processes in modern .NET applications.
