# Developer ToolsWhat is IronRelay — Django task & webhook engine?
IronRelay is a lightweight, self-contained task and webhook engine for any Django project. It handles: • outgoing webhooks • incoming webhooks • retries • storing attempts • logging HTTP codes, responses and errors Designed for developers who need a simple, reliable alternative to Celery or heavy queue systems. Perfect for SaaS, marketplaces, automation tools or any app that communicates with external APIs. Would appreciate feedback from Django developers and makers!
