Users can fire off containers to be run directly from within their application code without needing to worry about the machines that run them. IronWorker scales resources up and down behind the scenes to handle variable loads. It's a little like AWS Fargate + ECS, or Google Cloud Run- serverless + containers. The difference is that IronWorker can be deployed to any public cloud or fully on-premise, in any language. This flexibility is unparalleled, meaning your devops is future-proofed. All products can be managed via an online UI or via a robust HTTP API. Iron's products run on public clouds as well as On-premise. Iron.io is a suite of tools allow a busy developer to do what they do best, BUILD, without having to manage any underlying infrastructure. Its tools are lightweight, secure, and allow developers the ability to get started quickly. * * * Seller [Iron](https://www.g2.com/sellers/iron) Discussions [IronWorker Community](https://www.g2.com/products/ironworker/discuss) Languages Supported English, Japanese Overview by Nick Campion Show More ## Top-Rated Alternatives [ ![DigitalOcean](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "DigitalOcean") DigitalOcean 4.6/5(756) ](https://www.g2.com/products/digitalocean/reviews) [ ![Akamai Cloud Computing](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Akamai Cloud Computing") Akamai Cloud Computing 4.6/5(406) ](https://www.g2.com/products/akamai-cloud-computing/reviews) [ ![Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)](/assets/transparent-ad5be28fbcd25b7b08d2cebe1d957125437fb5407d75ee717965ad22c8808791.gif "Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS)") Amazon Elastic Container Service (Amazon ECS) 4.3/5(283) ](https://www.g2.com/products/amazon-elastic-container-service-amazon-ecs/reviews) [ View All Alternatives ](https://www.g2.com/products/ironworker/competitors/alternatives) ## User Insights Average based on 12 real user reviews.

Up to that point, I was just using larger AWS instances... But the concept of actually running 'concurrent' jobs at the same time (through using workers that spin up on elastic cloud computing) was lost on me. - The UI is very intuitive and gives really good detail about the time each job takes. - I can run my Workers and then have them put the finished product on a message queue - which means my whole ETL process is done without any hassle. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What do you dislike about IronWorker? Iron's message queue did used to have downtime - but they have released a new MQ v 4 built on RUST that has been really great. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. Recommendations to others considering IronWorker: The utility is great once you have moved past the configuration stage. If you have a bottleneck in your workflows, Iron's worker could be a great fit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com. What problems is IronWorker solving and how is that benefiting you?
