Resque like technology for .NET

Question

Resque is a Redis-backed Ruby library for creating background jobs, placing them on multiple queues, and processing them later.

Looks for something proven, and in use, if at all possible.

Answer 1

What you want is Hangfire

It rocks.

Answer 2

I am not familiar with Resque. However if someone came to me with requirements like that, I would point them to rabbitmq

• It has bindings for many languages including C# (as a WCF implementation).
• It offers (easy to configure): queues, pub/sub, routing, topic-routing (good for audit logs) etc.
  • See some examples here: http://www.rabbitmq.com/getstarted.html
• Based on the AMPQ protocol/standard

If you are wanting to schedule background jobs (say a end of day, every hr etc., etc.) I would suggest looking at quartz.net

So for a scalable, reliable, highly available etc, system I would use both. quartz.net for triggering regular jobs and rabbitmq for allocation and processing (retry etc) of both the scheduled tasks and for ad-hock task requests.
