Learning Points

----------------

* Sometimes you can’t avoid long-running methods in ASP.NET applications.

* Long running methods can cause your application to be un-responsible from the users point of view.

* To remove waits you should place your long-running method invocation into background job.

* Background job processing is complex itself, but simple with Hangfire.

* You can process background jobs even inside ASP.NET applications with Hangfire.
