Hangfire VS Polly

Unpopular opinion incoming... What I see is yet another way that the backend JS world is finally achieving something .NET had years ago[0].

Node/Deno/Bun/etc. + npm sounds super straightforward at first glance (and it is at first). But I've thought for years that it's far easier to be productive as an organization on .NET in Visual Studio, since it's simpler to design, deliver, and maintain infrastructure.

I mostly work in .NET, and typically use Hangfire, but all languages has similar frameworks

Its hard to tell what tool would be a best fit without more information, but I would suggest looking at Hangfire for background job processing: https://www.hangfire.io/

You might want to look at https://www.hangfire.io/. Their docs explain how to set up queues: https://docs.hangfire.io/en/latest/background-processing/configuring-queues.html

In this article we looked at how to use Hangfire to schedule background jobs in ASP.NET according to our requirements. In a follow up article, I will talk about using Hangfire with a Redis storage. To learn more about Hangfire, you can visit the official website.

Easy to understand if you want to implement your own background service. If you want a more easy and complete tool you can use hangfire.

If, as you stated, you really need to use your own servers, that seems exactly like a job for Hangfire.

In our applications, we should wrap all requests to remote services in code that implements a retry policy that follows one of the strategies I listed earlier. If you are a .NET developer like myself, you may be familiar with the Polly library. Golang has a library called Retry, and there are numerous third-party libraries for Python and Java.

Another question that rises is, would it be better to use some HttpClient package to handle the requests, like Refit in combination with Polly. But then again, it seems Refit also uses the HttpClient factory, which was a bad thing according to the previous?

D'Oh! Sorry, not PolySharp. I meant Polly. Too many similarly-named libraries!

Everywhere I've worked with AGs, we've worked with the application team to add retry logic to help make things a bit more seamless to end users. There are libraries out there that can make this pretty easy - Polly is one that I've used a few times, but there are others.

Fallacy 1: The network is reliable. If system 2 works perfectly well, but is not accessible for service 1 due to network issues, service 2 is still unavailable. This is why timeouts, service breakers and retry policies exist. A great tool for .NET to handle common network issues is Polly, but even when using a tool like this, the network is still not completely reliable.

I see. Then I don't have any better idea right now, but I do want to suggest that if your script is mostly API calls and you want to be able to deal with failures then take a look at the polly library: https://github.com/App-vNext/Polly

Runs in containers nicely, has good integration with Kafka, RabbitMQ, gRPC, etc. for Microservices communication. Implements resiliency patterns you'd want in Microservices via Polly. Has a decent Dependency Injection framework built in by default.

It's in no way hidden. But I use Polly all the time.

Depending if the sender or the reciever is down, you can also try Polly http://www.thepollyproject.org/
