Namespace Codebelt.Bootstrapper.Worker

If you build a .NET worker service and want the same lifetime callbacks and the same conventional Program.cs/Startup.cs split that the rest of the Codebelt family uses, the Codebelt.Bootstrapper.Worker namespace is your starting point. It provides WorkerProgram<TStartup> and WorkerStartup for the conventional Program/Startup pair, and MinimalWorkerProgram for the minimal-host model, both wired against BootstrapperLifetime and the shared UseBootstrapperEnvironmentDefaults for local-development user secrets.

Choose this namespace when the host is a BackgroundService, a long-running queue consumer, or any other IHostedService host that should react to startup and shutdown callbacks through IHostLifetimeEvents. The worker flavor is intentionally lightweight because worker hosts are almost always Host.CreateApplicationBuilder or Host.CreateDefaultBuilder based.

If you are starting a new worker service, start with MinimalWorkerProgram and its CreateHostBuilder helper — it composes UseBootstrapperLifetime and UseBootstrapperEnvironmentDefaults so a hosted service can react to lifetime events. If you are keeping the conventional Program/Startup split, start with WorkerProgram<TStartup> and pair it with WorkerStartup to register the worker's services.

Availability: .NET 10 and .NET 9
