  • How to do distributed cronjobs with worker queues?
    8 projects | /r/golang | 12 Nov 2022
    I had a similar design challenge recently and I haven’t worked it out completely yet. But I needed to dynamically create CronJob a based on a request and run each job in a go routine. I landed on https://github.com/robfig/cron which supports that behavior and removing jobs as well. I see this as being similar to your need since each scheduled cron entry via this library is sorta like having a queue with each having their own possible schedule. But I suppose it’s totally different from what you’re looking for. Curious to watch replies here.

    I used robfig/cron on each of the workers. I only had on the order of ~10 workers so polling was not an issue.

  • Cron for .NET 5.0+

    Hi there! I am developing some service that manages every day and every hour background tasks. I know about HostedService and 'manual' task planning with Task.delay, but i'm in search of good 'boxed' solution like Hangfire or Quartz but smaller. I also write in Golang and go devs have cron impl by robfig (github.com/robfig/cron). Do we have something like it for .NET 5.0? Thanks everyone!
