---

Why TickerQ?

Features

• Time & cron scheduling — one-off and recurring jobs
• Source-generated — compile-time function registration for maximum performance
• Dual persistence — EF Core (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SQLite, MySQL) or Redis
• Live dashboard — real-time UI with SignalR — screenshots
• Retry & throttling — configurable retry policies with backoff
• Dependency injection — first-class DI support
• Multi-node — distributed coordination via Redis heartbeats and dead-node cleanup
• Hub — centralized scheduling across applications via TickerQ Hub

Quick Start

dotnet add package TickerQ

1. Register services

var builder = WebApplication.CreateBuilder(args);

builder.Services.AddTickerQ();

var app = builder.Build();
app.UseTickerQ();
app.Run();

2. Create a job

using TickerQ.Utilities.Base;

public class MyJobs
{
    [TickerFunction("HelloWorld")]
    public async Task HelloWorld(
        TickerFunctionContext context,
        CancellationToken cancellationToken)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Hello from TickerQ! Job ID: {context.Id}");
    }
}

3. Schedule it

public class MyService(ITimeTickerManager<TimeTickerEntity> manager)
{
    public async Task Schedule()
    {
        await manager.AddAsync(new TimeTickerEntity
        {
            Function = "HelloWorld",
            ExecutionTime = DateTime.UtcNow.AddSeconds(10)
        });
    }
}
