Apex vs IronWorker: What are the differences?

What is Apex? Serverless Architecture with AWS Lambda. Apex is a small tool for deploying and managing AWS Lambda functions. With shims for languages not yet supported by Lambda, you can use Golang out of the box.

What is IronWorker? High-Scale Async Task Processing. IronWorker provides the muscle for modern applications by efficiently isolating the code and dependencies of individual tasks to be processed on demand. Run in a multi-language containerized environment with streamlined orchestration, IronWorker gives you the flexibility to power any task in parallel at massive scale.

Apex and IronWorker belong to "Serverless / Task Processing" category of the tech stack.

Some of the features offered by Apex are:

• Supports languages Lambda does not natively support via shim, such as Go
• Binary install (useful for continuous deployment in CI etc)
• Project level function and resource management

On the other hand, IronWorker provides the following key features:

• Containerized Environment
• High-Scale Processing
• Flexible Scheduling
