Key Features
Iron.io is a best-in-breed solutions, providing a comprehensive feature set across the entire workflow lifecycle
Flexible Job Scheduling
Schedule future jobs to run once, a set number of time, on a recurring, or many options in between. Scheduling API replaces CRON with an HA service that withstands node failures.
Job Priorities
Solutions include a built-in priority manager, allowing users to set the importance of specific jobs to be run.
Logging
STDOUT is captured for every job and exposed via API and dashboard, and can stream to syslog or 3rd party.
Webhooks
Make the most of the evented web by hooking your workers up to an HTTP Post endpoint, another worker, or an IronMQ queue. The use of webhooks allows you to create a really powerful workflow across several distinct applications without the need of official integrations.
Pull Queues, Push Queues & Long Polling
Once your code is uploaded, you can queue up jobs and Iron.io handles the provisioning and execution. Iron.io solutions support a variety of methods of getting messages. Pull queues periodically ask a client to check for messages, push queues inform subscribers when a message is added, and long polling allows you to keep a connection open with a queue until a message has been added.
Failure Handling
Job state change provides error and timeout handling, with alerting and auto-retry capabilities. Place alerts on your queues that notify your systems when they reach a certain number of messages for incorporating actions such as auto-scaling, failure detection, load-monitoring, and system health.
