Nice one. #11.

Awesome guys.. glad to be a part of this.

"AWS is nice, yes, but it still uses servers" Of course. That's the whole point. The abstraction layer is moving up. We're choosing from cloud "services" now to scale various pieces of our apps rather…

Now you have! :) IronWorker is like a hosted delayed_job.. meaning you never worry about servers. Another benefit is if you have to scale up your workers, we've got thousands of cores available at any…

We'd love to hear more... IronWorker acts as "cron in the cloud" so you're right it's not overly complicated.

Nice work guys.

Awesome. Love the options. FWIW - the value prop of IronWorker is never having to deal with servers again -- and only pay for the seconds you're actually crawling. Fire up a million crawlers (workers)…

Thanks for the feedback. Plenty of ways to [insert proverb here] and stretch the intellectual curiosity using new tools.

Muahaha

Hey Aidos, IronWorker (our product from Iron.io) has scheduling capabilities and can be combined easily with SendGrid/Mailgun to provide any type of rules engine. In it's most simple form, you can use…

Rubynerd!! Hope all is well. Thanks for the comments.

Hey Jcampbell, Thanks for your comments, that's good feedback for us. You're right, in the way that you described it, Iron.io would only be overhead. Cron is built in. Memcached is easy to setup. So i…

Hey LogicX, https://github.com/iron-io/iron_worker_examples/tree/master/... then follow the blog post. Let me know if you have any questions or issues. I'll try and do something more exciting later …

Here ya go: https://github.com/iron-io/iron_worker_examples/tree/master/... I just included the whole CasperJS library with the worker package and followed the getting started example from the Caspe…

Haven't worked with Casper yet but I'd be happy to build a similar example in our examples repo using Casper. Additionally you could install it using the build() command in the .worker file very simil…

Hey Dentldir, make sure you get everything from that phantom-nodejs folder.... Try a git clone https://github.com/iron-io/iron_worker_examples and then follow the directions from /binary/phantom-nod…

You're entitled to your opinion as is the author of this blog post... until accusations become libelous. The blog post was someones experience with PhoneGap. Don't you think people have differing expe…

Hey Jlawer, Thanks for the comment sorry for the late response... many of our customers are using IronWorker for: 1) Scheduled Emails: IronWorker allows an easy way to schedule emails to go out at dif…

One step closer to completely serverless development. Love it.

That's an interesting perspective. I agree we have gone through cycles of centralization/decentralization and that events will cause flutters of movement in both directions, that's natural. As another…

Very true.. But often it's the service providers that think about these hard problems daily, talk to their customers, and attempt at making the world a better place by building great products. In the …

Exactly.

This is a very valid concern. We are in the early stages of this transformation and naturally winners and losers will emerge as the market becomes more mature and the big guys begin to purchase and co…
