- For
- .NET developers using EF Core for transactional background work
- Worth noticing
- The page reports 2,300–2,600 no-op jobs per second on a four-shared-vCPU Hetzner instance with PostgreSQL 16.
Field notes
Setup begins with database-specific SQL scripts or EF migrations, followed by DbContext configuration and worker registration. The page also describes retries, cancellation, batches, recurring schedules, and separate queues, with a dashboard and REST API available through XactJobs.UI. Its throughput figure is reported for a specific setup—PostgreSQL 16, a Hetzner Cloud CX33, and one transaction per job—and the project is labeled pre-1.0.
