Let’s create an endpoint that will be invoked by Dapr Jobs when it triggers, then schedule the job in the same app. We’ll use the simple example provided here, for the following demonstration and walk through it as an explainer of how you can schedule one-time or recurring jobs using either an interval or Cron expression yourself. In this guide, you will:

Lifetime management

A DaprJobsClient is a version of the Dapr client that is dedicated to interacting with the Dapr Jobs API. It can be registered alongside a DaprClient and other Dapr clients without issue.

It maintains access to networking resources in the form of TCP sockets used to communicate with the Dapr sidecar and implements IDisposable to support the eager cleanup of resources.

For best performance, create a single long-lived instance of DaprJobsClient and provide access to that shared instance throughout your application. DaprJobsClient instances are thread-safe and intended to be shared.
