iii is an open‑source engine that lets you compose, extend, and observe any service or AI agent as a worker in real time. It provides a unified runtime, SDKs and a console for building, triggering and monitoring workers across languages.

Use cases

• Add a queue or cron job to my stack without writing glue code
• Orchestrate AI agents and backend services from a single console
• Expose a new microservice as a worker and call it from Node, Python or Rust
• Monitor and debug real‑time interactions between services in one place
• Generate typed client code for any registered worker automatically

When to choose

• You need a language‑agnostic way to register and invoke services as workers.
• Your architecture relies heavily on agents, queues, streams, or cron jobs and you want to reduce integration overhead.
• You want built‑in observability and a unified console for debugging distributed workflows.

When to avoid

• You prefer a single‑language monolith where a full framework adds unnecessary complexity.
• Your project requires a lightweight library rather than a full runtime engine.
• You need deep custom networking stacks that iii does not expose.
