Description

As I understood, "The control is returned to a caller just after Hangfire serializes the given information and saves it to the storage."

I suggest to support the async/await pattern (i.e. no blocking of threads) by overloading the jobs creation's methods, example:

`await BackgroundJob.EnqueueAsync(() => SomeClass.DoWork());`

I know such feature may requires to re-engineer the Hangfire but I have to ask if is it possible to see this methods soon ?

Research direction

Start with the BackgroundJob.Enqueue entry point and trace how job information is serialized and saved to storage. Determine which job-creation methods would need async overloads and whether the storage path supports non-blocking operations. Done means the requested async/await API is defined with compatible behavior and its effects are covered by appropriate tests.
