HangFire gives you a simple way to kick off long-running processes from the ASP.NET request processing pipeline. Asynchronous, transparent, reliable, efficient processing. No Windows service/ Task Scheduler required. Even ASP.NET is not required.

Improve the responsiveness of your web application. Do not force your users to wait when the application performs the following tasks:

• mass notifications/newsletter;
• batch import from xml, csv, json;
• creation of archives;
• firing off web hooks;
• deleting users;
• building different graphs;
• image processing;
• …and so on.

Just wrap your long-running process to a method and instruct HangFire to create a background job based on this method. All backround jobs are being saved to a persistent storage (SQL Server or Redis) and performed on a dedicated worker thread in a reliable way inside or outside of your ASP.NET application.

HangFire is a .NET Framework alternative to Resque, Sidekiq, delayed_job.
