Now I am a bit confused, since the forum post and Sebastiaan's blog post are mentioning that recurring tasks have been removed from U8 but the documentation is saying something else.
What is then the best practice to implement recurring tasks in U8?
The OLD (v7) recurring tasks have been removed, they've been replaced by the BackgroundTaskRunner as you found in the docs.
The BackgroundTaskRunner doesn't have a user interface, so you will need to observe logs or something to see how they're doing.
I LOVE Hangfire because it has a nice UI that I can use to see if everything is running great, what problems there may be and triggering tasks manually.
U8 - Recurring Tasks vs Hangfire
Hey Guys,
due to this forum post, the recurring tasks have been removed from Umbraco in version 8:
https://our.umbraco.com/forum/umbraco-8/98280-scheduled-tasks-in-umbraco-8-no-longer-available
There are some recommendations for using Hangfire instead and also a good documentation by Sebastiaan here:
https://cultiv.nl/blog/using-hangfire-for-scheduled-tasks-in-umbraco/
But I also found this documentation related to U8 and recurring tasks: https://our.umbraco.com/documentation/Reference/Scheduling/
Now I am a bit confused, since the forum post and Sebastiaan's blog post are mentioning that recurring tasks have been removed from U8 but the documentation is saying something else.
What is then the best practice to implement recurring tasks in U8?
Thanks
Dee

Up to you what you want to use!
many thanks Sebastiaan!
