[I'm with Iron.io]

Similar, yes. We're excited that developers are seeing the power of the task/worker/lambda being the scalable unit of work rather than server or VM or even container.

Haven't used Lambda much yet but off hand we see many IronWorker advantages:

- Supports all languages - Easily scale to thousands of parallel workers - Integrated logging, error reporting, alerts, auto-retries on failure - Integration with IronMQ our queue service to achieve stream processing and pipelining - A great dashboard to manage your workers/tasks

And many innovations/announcements coming soon that'll make using IronWorker a great choice for developers both on AWS and inside the enterprise firewall.

I recently used iron.io to process around 750K images (generating pHashes for duplicate detection). The service is fantastic.
