An easy-to-use, highly-available message queuing service built for distributed cloud applications with critical messaging needs. Provides on-demand message queuing with advanced features and cloud-optimized performance.

From Wikipedia: [modified]

IronMQ is a cloud-based message queuing service provided by Iron.io. It is used for connecting systems via a messaging gateway, buffering webhook events and creating loosely coupled distributed cloud applications.

Some IronMQ features:

  • Implemented via HTTP/REST
  • Supports JSON messages up to 64k in size
  • Guarantees ordered (FIFO) delivery
  • Guarantees once only delivery
  • No delays retrieving messages
  • Supports the Beanstalk'd open source protocol

IronMQ is available on multiple cloud platforms including AWS and Rackspace and provides high availability and message persistence by distributing and replicating components across multiple cloud zones to eliminate single points of failure. Can be used as a message service broker for popular task queues such as Celery and Delayed Job.

Similar/comparable technologies include:

  • RabbitMQ (an implementation of AMQP with on-premise as well as cloud-based implementation such as CloudAMQP)
  • Microsoft's Message Queuing implementation MSMQ
