ServiceStack v8.4 Release

This episode covers the ServiceStack v8.4 release which introduces C# Background Jobs, a feature for queueing and managing background tasks. This feature leverages SQLite as a persistent store, providing robust, scalable, and infrastructure-free job management. All existing .NET 8 Identity Auth templates have also been upgraded to integrate with Background Jobs for sending Identity Auth emails.

The release also includes SQLite Request Logs support for persisting Request Logs into monthly archivable rolling databases enabling a richer monitoring and logging experience.
