Iron.io

Iron.io provides serverless tools designed to help developers run application workloads, process background jobs, and manage messaging without taking on the full burden of infrastructure scaling. Its product suite includes IronWorker, a container-based service for background tasks, autoscaling workloads, and GPU-enabled jobs; IronMQ, a scalable messaging queue built in Go; IronFunctions, an open-source, cloud-agnostic platform that can run Lambda functions; and IronCache, a fast cache store compatible with Memcached. Together, these services support workloads ranging from task processing and message delivery to caching, with options for custom solutions and a focus on flexibility and reliability.

Iron.io serves organizations that need their applications to handle changing demand. The company cites CNN as a customer using IronWorker and IronMQ to support reliable news delivery during traffic surges, and highlights automatic scaling as a benefit valued by customers such as Untappd. Iron.io also offers documentation, support, and engineering assistance, including 24/7 customer service for enterprise customers. Developers can start with a free trial or book a demo to explore the tools.
