If you want to run some background tasks inside your ASP.NET Web API application, I strongly suggest you have a look at Hangfire. You don't need a separate Windows Service or anything, you can just spawn the task within the Web API. Having said that, Hangfire gives you extended functionality to run your background task as a Console Application or as a Windows Service. For the persistence storage for the tasks, Hangfire uses SQL Server, MySQL, Redis etc.
