Twilio brings voice and messaging communications to Amazon Web Services developers

SAN FRANCISCO, USA: Twilio, the Communications API Platform, expanded its offerings on Amazon Web Services (AWS) to address the growing cloud communications market.

As part of this, Twilio has joined the AWS Marketplace and will offer $20 in "Jump Start" credits to developers interested in tapping into the combined power of Twilio and AWS. Twilio credits can be leveraged to build solutions such as in-application dialing, conference calling, group texting, mobile app distribution, two-factor authentication and more.

The Twilio platform is connected to carrier networks all over the globe and exposes those networks via a clean and powerful web API. AWS offers a complete set of infrastructure and application services that enable developers and enterprises to run virtually everything in the cloud. Harnessing the power of two of these platforms makes it easier for developers to communicate and create powerful applications with no upfront costs.

"Businesses of all types and sizes are moving their computing and communications infrastructure to the cloud. The combination of reliable, scalable infrastructure services along with Twilio's powerful communications infrastructure is further accelerating this trend," said Jeff Lawson, Twilio CEO.

"The solution that Twilio is offering on AWS jumpstarts the ability of developers and enterprises to better serve their customers by providing flexible cloud-based communications. With all the innovation in both the AWS and Twilio communities, we can't wait to see what developers will build."
