.Net Core Hangfire - Increase worker count

Question

I have a .Net Core application with Hangfire implementation.

There is a recurring job per minute as below:-

RecurringJob.AddOrUpdate<IS2SScheduledJobs>(x => x.ProcessInput(), Cron.MinuteInterval(1));

var hangfireOptions = new BackgroundJobServerOptions
            {
                WorkerCount = 20,
            };
            _server = new BackgroundJobServer(hangfireOptions);

The ProcessInput() internally checks the BlockingCollection() of some Ids to process, it keeps on continuously processing.

There is a time when the first ten ProcessInput() jobs keeps on processing with 10 workers where as the other new ProcessInput() jobs gets enqueued.

For this purpose, I wanted to increase the workers count, say around 50, so that there would be 50 ProcessInput() jobs being processed parallely.

Please suggest. Thanks.

In the .NET Core version you can set the worker count when adding the Hangfire Server:

services.AddHangfireServer(options => options.WorkerCount = 50);
