 Periodically executing an action is a pretty common programming task, virtually any .NET developer will face sooner or later. In fact, the task is so common that .NET ships 3! different timers (not counting UI-specific timers). Sadly, Microsoft doesn't really provide a guide on which one to choose and how to use it in a real-world application. So let's experiment on our own!

 ## Preparing our app
 
 To keep it real let's set up our experiments in a way we may actually use timers in a production-ready service: as an `IHostedService`. Let's init our project with a minimalistic web project: `dotnet new web` and then write a skeleton for our service, which will start a timer based on the values we will pass to it from the configuration
