IronWorker

"Simple set up, very good support, and clean interface"

Kommentare: I like Iron Worker. I don't use all of the features but it has helped a lot with scaling up and streamlining functions in my app.

Vorteile: It's simple but scalable, the support is very good. When setting up I had a lot of questions and they respond quickly. I like the interface, the ability to easily see exactly what is contained in each request is great and the API is straightforward.

Nachteile: There is not much middle ground on the pricing, it's either an opening price point plan with more limited features, and then the next level jumps up significantly in price. I am using this for an app that is not processing a up huge volume of traffic so I am able to get by with the features on the lowest price point plan, but I would like something offered in the middle that doesn't jump up in price so steeply. I should mention I am using the worker via the Heroku app. The only other negative is that the worker has gotten hung up on me a couple of times but it has only happened minimally and they are quick to resolve once I report it.

"Highly scalable infrastructure, plus fast and easy code releases thanks to Docker integration"

Kommentare: Overall, I am very satisfied with IronWorker and I have recommended it to my friends and colleagues

Vorteile: I love that Iron Workers can now be loaded using Docker containers! Speeds up release time exponentially and makes testing significantly easier since my local environment is always the same as the production environment. It is also fairly easy to push workers directly from my code base (PHP) or create crons that are run from the command line.

Nachteile: The docker documentation is poor. Each time I needed to launch a worker in a new environment, I needed to talk with Iron support team to help them build the Dockerfile. IronWorker doesn't appear to be primary product of Iron either (that would be IronMQ), so updates to the platform are somewhat infrequent.

"Easy to use caching + worker deployment"

Vorteile: Very easy to integrate the product; highly available service; great performance.

Nachteile: Little support and support by email takes a very long time to get a response. Platform availability great but they could improve customer service support and documentation or knowledgebase.

"It does what I’d expect it to do"

Kommentare: Asynchronous, retried job dispatch such as sending emails

Vorteile: It is relatively low effort. Solves the retry to send this to a third part some what simply.

Nachteile: Testing is a pain. Getting the correct dependancies installed can feel like a lottery. It feels like it has been abandoned in terms of updates.

"Great once your used to it"

Kommentare: Overall, the experience has been good. The basic features you need are simple to use and easy to integrate.

Vorteile: Integration was easy and it's pretty simple to use for what we need. It also makes it easier to find issues in our jobs.

Nachteile: I feel all the features and functionality aren't so easy to find. I think I'm missing out on a lot of it's capabilities.
