Chapter 5: Using IHostedService and BackgroundService

This fifth chapter isn't really about customization; it's more about a feature you can use to create background services to run tasks asynchronously inside your application. I use this feature to regularly fetch data from a remote service in a small ASP.NET Core application.

We'll examine the following topics:

  • Introducing IHostedService
  • Introducing BackgroundService
  • Implementing the new Worker Service projects

The topics of this chapter refer to the Host layer of the ASP.NET Core architecture:
