========
Iris core, API, UI and sender service. For third-party integration support, see [iris-relay](https://github.com/linkedin/iris-relay), a stateless proxy designed to sit at the edge of a production network and allow external traffic to pass through. We also have an Iris mobile app for iOS/Android, at the [iris-mobile](https://github.com/linkedin/iris-mobile) repo.
