Job System Enhancements #

Standalone #

Jobs can easily be run standalone now, which makes it much easier to test the system. You won't have to worry about your application pool shutting down prematurely and killing your job half way through it's long-running work item.

More Ways to Run #

With 2.0, you'll be able to run jobs in process, as a service, as a standalone exe, or as Azure WebJobs. Cool, huh?

Need More? Run More! #

If you need to process more tasks, simply fire up more jobs. This will save resources and money when using Azure WebJobs, as you can auto-scale jobs based on resource constraints.

We use jobs to send emails, call web hooks, process events, and much more, so these enhancements will allow for better resource control when scaling, and in general.
