Difference Between Hangfire And MSMQ

Hangfire or MSMQ

Developers are confused when it comes to making a decision whether to use Hangfire or MSMQ, what difference is MSMQ to Hangfire or are they really doing the same thing? Whether you decide to use Hangfire or MSMQ or both for your applications, it would work. But there is a slight difference.
 


 What is Hangfire

Hangfire is an open-source framework that helps to create, process and manage your background jobs, i.e. operations you don't want to put in your request processing pipeline:
  • Mass notifications/newsletters
  • Batch import from XML,CSV,JSON
  • Building different graphs
...


What is MSMQ

 Message Queuing (MSMQ) technology enables applications running at different times to communicate across heterogeneous networks and systems that may be temporarily offline. Applications send messages to queues and read messages from queues.


Differences 

 Working with enterprise applications that require lot of persistent logic, and your applications communicate across heterogeneous networks, sometimes the server may go offline or be terminated unexpectedly, which would lead to loss of data or corrupt data. 

The good news is that hangfire retries failed jobs after some interval. If the server shut down unexpectedly or an exception occurred, it would retry after some seconds (15 by default) when the server becomes available. Having multiple servers is also good practice because each server that is running executes the queued jobs simultaneously. So if one fails, the other servers continue processing

 But when using MSMQ, you don’t have to wait! MSMQ will start processing immediately when the server becomes available. Hangfire also has support for MSMQ, read more about it here http://docs.hangfire.io/en/latest/configuration/using-sql-server-with-msmq.html

    Do not use MSMQ with Hangfire. It fails for no reason.

      I use hangfire default settings for jobs without using MSMQ. And it works great for me. thanks for the heads up though.

Introduction Happy new year folks. I hope you all enjoyed your holidays.  Let me enlighten you with some new year codes 😊. Remember my post on how to implement a payment gateway on Paystack with Node js ? today, you would see it in action in Asp.Net . I am not going to build a customer subscription app like I did in the previous one, rather I would provide explicit codes that can be used to implement payment on any mobile apps, web apps, and any platform indeed. It is a simple code and can be easily integrated into your projects. To know more about Paystack infrastructure, visit the developer's section on their website. They have already written some libraries on vast programming languages like Python , Java , Node js and so on... If you have problems working with the code or implementing it on your project, drop your comments and you might receive an email from me or if your company is looking forward to incorporating a payment solution, you can contact me. Diving t...

Sending Notification Message with Firebase with JavaScript and ASP.Net client Introduction to Firebase Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) is a cross-platform messaging solution that lets you reliably deliver messages at no cost.   FCM server has two components for sending and receiving messages which are: The trusted environment (app server) FCM servers It is the job of the app server to send the message to the FCM server which then sends the message to the client device. The trusted environment can be an app server for sending messages; you can also use the Admin SDK or HTTP and XMPP APIs. The work of the server is to forward the message to the FCM server which then sends to the client. Find out more about how it works here: https://firebase.google.com/docs/cloud-messaging/   In this tutorial, I will show you how to use firebase using JavaScript client to send token and notification messages to the FCM Legacy server.

Jwt in Asp.Net Web API And MVC Introduction Token based security is trending everywhere in today’s security architecture. There are different token providers out there, but the one people are more familiar with is the JWT token. The token identifies a user. For example, your ID card could be used as a token. It identifies who you claim to be. The Id card would contain information like: ·         Firstname ·         Lastname ·         Age ·          Title The JSON Web Token The JSON Web Token contains some header information, a signature, and the token’s claims. In plain text, the claims might look like this: { "Name":"John doe", "UserId":5, "Email":"johndoe@gmail.com", "Role":"Boss" } The token header is used to specify some other things like signature algorithm, expiration date, the name of the issuer, and a few other attributes. Using Jwt In Asp.Net Web API The JwtA...
