TickerQ

A demonstration project showcasing the implementation of background jobs and scheduled tasks using TickerQ in a .NET application.

Overview

TickerQExample is a sample implementation of background job processing using the TickerQ framework. It demonstrates how to schedule and manage both cron-based recurring tasks and time-based background jobs in an ASP.NET Core application.

Features

• Cron-based scheduled tasks
• Time-based background jobs
• Database-backed job persistence
• Retry mechanisms for failed jobs
• Batch job processing capabilities

Example Background Jobs

The project includes several example background jobs demonstrating different scheduling patterns:

1. ExampleMethod

   • Runs every 5 minutes
   • Simple logging demonstration

2. WithObject

   • Example of a job with custom object parameters
   • Shows how to pass complex data to background jobs

Prerequisites

• .NET 9.0

Getting Started

1. Run TickerQExample.AspireHost project

Project Structure

The project follows a standard ASP.NET Core structure with additional components for background job processing:

• BackgroundJobs/: Contains background service implementations
• Data/: Includes database migrations and context
