Iron.io is a serverless computing platform that offers backend services for data processing and application infrastructure management. Founded to address infrastructure challenges, Iron.io launched its first product, IronWorker, in 2011, which played a significant role in the serverless computing movement. The company provides several core services, including IronWorker for task scheduling and job processing, IronMQ for asynchronous communication, IronCache for application performance enhancement, and IronFunctions, an open-source product. These tools are designed to support applications utilizing serverless and hybrid cloud architectures. Iron.io is owned by Xenon Ventures, led by Jonathan Siegel, who was an early customer and investor in the company. The transition to Go for their backend infrastructure has improved scalability and performance, allowing Iron.io to efficiently manage increased traffic with fewer servers.
