# IJobShard

Package: [Microsoft.Orleans.DurableJobs](/orleans/docs/api/csharp/microsoft.orleans.durablejobs/) 10.0.0-alpha.1

[NuGet package](https://www.nuget.org/packages/Microsoft.Orleans.DurableJobs)

```csharp
public interface IJobShard : IAsyncDisposable
```

Represents a shard of durable jobs that manages a collection of jobs within a specific time range. A job shard is responsible for storing, retrieving, and managing the lifecycle of durable jobs that fall within its designated time window.

## Remarks

Job shards are used to partition durable jobs across time ranges to improve scalability and performance. Each shard has a defined start and end time that determines which jobs it manages. Shards can be marked as complete when all jobs within their time range have been processed.
