The modern job scheduler for .NET
Source-generated task scheduling with built-in persistence, cron & time-based execution, and real-time monitoring.
| Zero reflection, AOT ready | Source generators at compile time. No runtime reflection, no magic strings, fully trimmable. |
| Your database | EF Core (PostgreSQL, SQL Server, SQLite, MySQL) or Redis. No separate storage. |
| Real-time dashboard | Built-in SignalR dashboard. Monitor, inspect, manage — no paid add-ons. |
| Multi-node | Redis heartbeats, dead-node cleanup, lock-based coordination. Just add instances. |
| Minimal setup | AddTickerQ() → decorate a method → schedule. Minutes, not hours. |
- 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
