Recurring job should run on each worker

question
1

Each of our hangfire server nodes has an in-memory cache, which we want to fill every few minutes with data from an external service.

This is not a “shared” cache, each server node has it’s own cache.

Is it possible to set up a recurring job which will run on each server?

I would not put this on Hangfire. I would have a process outside of Hangfire but within the service itself that builds/refreshes the cache.

Yes, thanks, we came to the same conclusion, and decided to use an IHostedService / BackgroundService
