Comparison to Hangfire #9

Open lvmajor opened 6 years ago

lvmajor commented 6 years ago

Hey there, just wanted to know if there was a quick comparison between Minion and Hangfire.

Is it built to replace Hangfire at all?

thanks in advance :)

Hi, I took a liberty to answer your question since @pug-pelle-p is not active here. At this moment there is no a comparison table (or something like that) between Minion and Hangfire. The project is still in 0.0.x, so it's not as mature and robust as Hangfire is. For the same reason I would not recommend replacing Hangfire with Minion in production right now :)

Hi @os1r1s110, yes it's built to replace Hangfire. Hangfire is a great library, but it has no good support for running integration tests/simulations that are date-dependent.

The main reason I built this is to be able to run my application in a simulation mode, where I can simulate my application running for x days without actually running it for that long. An example where that would be a good idea is when I need to schedule email in 2 days and be able to test that the email actually sends in 2 days. Or simulate a loan being repaid over a long period of time.

For now this is a very basic library but I plan to add more features such as a dashboard.

All right, good to know. And do you plan splitting features such as what is done with hangfire and providing some free features and some premium paid features?

pug-pelle-p commented 5 years ago

No there is no plan to split features into free/paid
