EverTask Documentation

EverTask is a .NET background task execution library built for persistence and resilience. If you need to process work in the background, handle scheduled jobs, or build fault-tolerant task pipelines, you’re in the right place.

Quick Example

// 1. Register in Program.cs
builder.Services.AddEverTask(options =>
    options.RegisterTasksFromAssemblyContaining<SendEmailTask>()
).AddSqlServerStorage(connectionString);

// 2. Define your task
public record SendEmailTask(string To, string Subject) : IEverTask;

// 3. Define your handler
public class SendEmailHandler : EverTaskHandler<SendEmailTask>
{
    public override async Task Handle(SendEmailTask task, CancellationToken ct)
    {
        await _emailService.SendAsync(task.To, task.Subject);
    }
}

// 4. Dispatch anywhere
await _dispatcher.DispatchAsync(new SendEmailTask("user@example.com", "Hello!"));

That’s it! EverTask persists the task, handles retries on failure, and executes it in the background. Learn more in Getting Started.
