We're seeing recovery across our services now.

Yes. You can import Lambda functions like so: https://github.com/iron-io/functions/blob/master/docs/lambda... …

Right, it's Lambda anywhere ... that you want to run it. But we hope/expect to see the service hosted on all clouds soon.

IronWorker is more classic job processing whereas IronFunctions is AWS Lambda-style sync service. We'll follow up with a longer blog post on the differences.

Hi All, This is Chad, CEO of Iron.io. It's true that we had to make some hard decisions and say goodbye to some friends. That said, a majority of the team is still here and dedicated to operating…

Thanks for the synopsis. Lots of plans for IronWorker including fully custom Docker image support (soon) and millisecond response times (soon'ish). We also support custom configurations of CPU&#x…

A long tipping point, but one indeed.

Fair enough. :) For the record, we actually use a lot of Ruby in our frontend systems as well as organize the SFRails meetup group in San Francisco. We just -- love GoLang for everything else.

Nice analogy. Feel that way all the time.

definitely seems useful

Happens to the best of them... thanks for the detailed writeup guys. Love the service.

Thanks! The energy in the rooms during these meetups is palpable.. like the next big thing is coming.

don't worry... our Ruby servers kept us churning for a long time.
