Hangfire is an open-source library for .NET and .NET Core applications that lets developers perform background job processing without a separate Windows Service or process. It supports fire-and-forget, delayed, recurring, and continuation jobs, backed by persistent storage such as SQL Server or Redis. A built-in web dashboard shows the state of background processing, and paid Pro/Ace extensions add features like job batches and batch continuations.
