Answer 1

Hangfire (https://www.hangfire.io) is an excellent tool to create background tasks.

You'll need some kind of storage (SQL, MongoDB) to keep track of the tasks but once it is implemented, you can create recurring background jobs like this:

RecurringJob.AddOrUpdate(
    () => Console.WriteLine("Recurring!"),
    Cron.Daily);

I don't know if the latest version of Hangfire will support .NET Core 1, but older versions certainly will.
