IronWorker

IronWorker helps customers painlessly scale their container based workloads. 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.
