About Hangfire
Hangfire is an open-source library designed to simplify background job processing in .NET and .NET Core applications. It eliminates the need for separate Windows Services or external processes by integrating background tasks directly into your application. It supports various job types including fire-and-forget, delayed, recurring, and continuations, ensuring reliable execution even across application restarts.
The tool is ideal for developers and organizations building .NET applications that require robust and persistent background task management. It offers a transparent web UI to monitor job states, built-in logging integration, and guarantees at-least-once job execution. Its distributed nature allows for scaling across multiple machines without complex configuration, making it suitable for high-load environments. Hangfire is extensible, allowing custom storage implementations and dashboard modifications.
While the core library is free and open-source for commercial use, Hangfire also offers 'Pro' extensions for advanced features like batches, Redis storage, and dedicated support, catering to businesses needing enhanced capabilities and enterprise-grade reliability.
