Description

Hello,

I was wondering if there is any way of modifying the settings for the hangfire server like worker count / queues without needing to stop that server and spinning up a new instance of one. In our application we have some controls around configuring the number of workers and would like a way of modifying the currently running server to increase/decrease the number of workers without stopping the work those servers are already doing.

Research direction

Start by tracing how a running Hangfire server receives its worker-count and queue settings, focusing on the server options and lifecycle entry points. Determine whether those settings can be changed without stopping active work, and document the expected behavior for increasing or decreasing workers and changing queues.
