IronWorker overview

What is IronWorker?

IronWorker is a container-based background job processing solution, which comes with detailed analytics for developers to run front-end tasks, assigned/scheduled jobs, and offload tasks on a serverless platform. The app enables businesses to create custom worker code, as well as package and upload it on the system and queue up tasks against it. IronWorker enables users to operate in docker-based workflows to sync local environments with the production environment.

Key features of IronWorker include image and video processing, dashboards, push notifications, ETL processing, email delivery, cron replacement and troubleshooting reports. Developers can use a scheduler to queue up tasks which need to be performed at specific times and monitor them through the task tab. IronWorker's auto-scaling functionality allows businesses to break large tasks into small pieces and distribute them among workers running in a parallel environment. The platform also helps isolate code and other dependencies and enables users to process tasks on demand.

IronWorker can either be deployed on-premise or hosted in the cloud. It integrates with several third-party logging and monitoring services such as PaperTrail, DataDog, New Relic, StatHat, and more. Also, it comes with APIs and CLIs, which enable businesses to modify the system as per their requirements.

Key benefits of using IronWorker

• IronWorker allows developers to move tasks to the background and provides real-time insights into the user-response loop.

• Businesses can use IronWorker to reduce the process time of tasks by running jobs concurrently or in parallel at high volume using granular resources.

• Provides tools to write worker code to run in business application, then upload and run them in IronWorker in multiple language such as Ruby, PHP, Python, Java, Node js, .Net, Go and more.

• Comes with a scheduler, which allows developers to flexibly schedule jobs to run once or multiple times on a recurring or other basis.

• IronWorker lets users use a centralized dashboard to gain insights into the status and performance of tasks.

System developer

“So we are suggested to use either enterprise or on-premise deployment. The question is, it's just small part of our overall architecture but either E/P services charged too much.”

Anonymity request

“But the lack of a search feature/function is the #1 issue for Iron in my opinion.”
