Background Processing in Web API Call

Overview¶

This article provides sample code for the use case where we want a Web API call to return immediately but continue with background processing.

Sample Code¶

[HttpPost]
public IActionResult DoBackgroundProcessing(
    [FromBody] MyRequest request
    )
{
    Response.OnCompleted(async () =>
    {
        await DoBackgroundTaskAsync(request);
    });

    return Accepted();
}

private async Task DoBackgroundTaskAsync(MyRequest request)
{
    // TODO
}
