Which concept is best for managed background services?
1. RunAsync(CancellationToken):
interface IWorker
{
Task RunAsync(CancellationToken cancellationToken = default);
}
...
IWorker worker = ...;
var source = new CancellationTokenSource();
_ = worker.RunAsync(source.Token);
// And when it's time to shutdown the worker:
source.Cancel();
vs
2. RunAsync and StopAsync
interface IWorker
{
Task RunAsync();
Task StopAsync();
}
...
IWorker worker = ...;
_ = worker.RunAsync();
// And when it's time to shutdown the worker:
await worker.StopAsync();
