Hi all,

I'm looking into AWS Lambda and trying out it's competitors/alternatives.

I came across IronWorker and found a blogpost (http://www.iron.io/aws-lambda-vs-ironworker/) from a year ago on the Iron.io website. This post was written by Travis Reeder (CTO of Iron.io) so it's subjective. Also, a lot has changed in a year for AWS Lambda.

Have any of you experience with both platforms and what are your experiences?

Thanks in advance.

Just at a quick glance, I can tell you that AWS Lambda now has:

- Scheduling

- Python support.

However, I've not used Iron.io so can't chime in there sorry.

Yea that's true, since a few days it also supports VPC. Im interested in finding out the particular use-cases where one of them is better.
