Hangfire VS Serilog

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.

To learn more about Serilog, you can visit the documentation on their GitHub project. To learn more about Seq, you can visit the documentation on their website.

These projects use dependency injection for connections and have no logging although they are ready to log to the console via SeriLog setup in Program.cs.

See here: https://github.com/serilog/serilog/wiki/Configuration-Basics e.g.

Captured in public static void OnActivated() and note Log is SeriLog.

"Serilog": { "Using": [ "Serilog.Sinks.File" ], "Enrich": [ "WithHttpRequestId", "WithExceptionDetails", "WithClientIp" ], "MinimumLevel": { "Default": "Information" }, "WriteTo": [ { "Name": "File", "Args": { "path": "../../../../../Logs/MyApp/MyApp-.log", "rollingInterval": "Day", "retainedFileCountLimit": "7", "outputTemplate": "[{Timestamp:yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss.fff zzz} {CorrelationId} {Level:u3}] {Username} {Message:lj}{NewLine}{Exception} {Properties:lj}{NewLine}" } } ] } 👆 I got the enricher names from serilog's wiki. The idea was to log the HTTPRequestId, ClientIp, and automagically log the details of every exception thrown (without having to do _logger.LogError(...)). However I don't see those details in the logs. In Program.cs: ``` var logger = new LoggerConfiguration() .ReadFrom.Configuration(builder.Configuration) .Enrich.FromLogContext() .CreateLogger();

You could also write a custom destructuring policy, assuming it's a flurl-specific public exception type and you only need certain properties of it. You'd implement IDestructuringPolicy and then add it to the configuration:

Serilog for logging

I've cloned https://github.com/serilog/serilog and I'm not sure what's going on with the multitargetting in the tests? Does this (below) mean, if the dev's OS is windows, then target framework 462 or 471? What should I do on my laptop, which only has the net6 and fw48 sdk installed?
