IronMQ overview

What is IronMQ?

IronMQ is a cloud-agnostic message queue solution which enables communication between components and services. The platform supports a range of features including push and pull queues, error queues, long polling, alerts and triggers, and is designed to support businesses of all sizes.

With IronMQ, users can connect distributed systems through a messaging layer, and manage message and event volumes flowing between applications, services, and sites. Multiple message queues are supported, as are a range of client libraries including Ruby, PHP, Python, .Net, Node, Rust and Java. Automated failover ensures that queues are automatically pointed to alternative availability zones during outages, without requiring code changes. IronMQ can be run in the cloud, or installed on-premise for security and compliance in industries such as government and healthcare.
