LevelUp.Bifrost.Core 0.4.0

Bifrost

A high-performance, production-ready Channel-based work orchestration library for .NET 10. Provides bounded work queues, worker pool management, autoscaling, resilience, and comprehensive observability.

Features

• Zero-allocation hot paths - ValueTask-based enqueue with no per-item allocations
• Autoscaling - Dynamic worker scaling based on queue utilization with configurable watermarks
• Resilience - Polly integration for retry, timeout, and circuit breaker patterns
• Health Checks - ASP.NET Core health check integration
• OpenTelemetry - Metrics and tracing support
• Event Streaming - Pub/sub events for work lifecycle tracking

Packages

Quick Start

Installation

dotnet add package LevelUp.Bifrost
dotnet add package LevelUp.Bifrost.HealthChecks  # optional
dotnet add package LevelUp.Bifrost.OpenTelemetry  # optional
dotnet add package LevelUp.Bifrost.Resilience  # optional

Basic Usage

// 1. Define your work type
public record EmailJob(string To, string Subject, string Body);

// 2. Implement a handler
public class EmailHandler : IWorkHandler<EmailJob>
{
    private readonly IEmailService _emailService;

    public EmailHandler(IEmailService emailService)
    {
        _emailService = emailService;
    }

    public async ValueTask HandleAsync(EmailJob job, CancellationToken ct)
    {
        await _emailService.SendAsync(job.To, job.Subject, job.Body, ct);
    }
}

// 3. Register services
services.AddWorkOrchestrator<EmailJob>(options =>
{
    options.Capacity = 128;
    options.WorkerCount = 2;
})
.WithHandler<EmailHandler>();

// 4. Enqueue work
public class MyService
{
    private readonly IWorkOrchestrator<EmailJob> _orchestrator;

    public MyService(IWorkOrchestrator<EmailJob> orchestrator)
    {
        _orchestrator = orchestrator;
    }

    public async Task SendWelcomeEmailAsync(string email)
    {
        await _orchestrator.EnqueueAsync(
            new EmailJob(email, "Welcome!", "Thanks for signing up!"));
    }
}

With Autoscaling

services.AddWorkOrchestrator<EmailJob>(options =>
{
    options.Capacity = 128;
    options.WorkerCount = 2;
})
.WithHandler<EmailHandler>()
.WithAutoscaling(scaling =>
{
    scaling.MinWorkers = 1;
    scaling.MaxWorkers = 16;
    scaling.HighWatermark = 0.8;
    scaling.LowWatermark = 0.3;
    scaling.CooldownPeriod = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30);
});

With Health Checks

services.AddWorkOrchestrator<EmailJob>(/* ... */)
    .WithHealthChecks();

// In your health check endpoint configuration
app.MapHealthChecks("/health");

With OpenTelemetry

services.AddWorkOrchestrator<EmailJob>(/* ... */)
    .WithOpenTelemetry();

With Resilience (Polly)

services.AddWorkOrchestrator<EmailJob>(/* ... */)
    .WithResilience(resilience =>
    {
        resilience.RetryCount = 3;
        resilience.Timeout = TimeSpan.FromSeconds(30);
        resilience.UseExponentialBackoff = true;
    });

API Overview

IWorkOrchestrator<TWork>

The main interface for enqueuing work:

public interface IWorkOrchestrator<TWork> : IAsyncDisposable
{
    // Core operations - zero-allocation hot path
    ValueTask EnqueueAsync(TWork work, CancellationToken ct = default);
    bool TryEnqueue(TWork work);

    // Observability (non-allocating property access)
    int PendingCount { get; }
    int ActiveWorkers { get; }
    int Capacity { get; }

    // Lifecycle
    Task StopAsync(CancellationToken ct = default);

    // Escape hatch for advanced scenarios
    ChannelWriter<TWork> Writer { get; }
}

IWorkHandler<TWork>

Implement this interface to handle work items:

public interface IWorkHandler<TWork>
{
    ValueTask HandleAsync(TWork work, CancellationToken ct);
}

Event Streaming

Subscribe to orchestrator events:

// Enable event streaming
services.AddWorkOrchestrator<EmailJob>(/* ... */)
    .WithEventStream();

// Subscribe to events
var eventOrchestrator = serviceProvider
    .GetRequiredService<IEventStreamOrchestrator<EmailJob>>();

await foreach (var evt in eventOrchestrator.GetEventStreamAsync<WorkCompletedEvent<EmailJob>>(ct))
{
    Console.WriteLine($"Work completed in {evt.Duration}");
}
