Twilio Functions is a serverless environment that empowers developers to quickly create production-grade, event-driven Twilio applications that scale with their businesses.


Key features

Functions overview diagram.

Twilio Functions replaces your need to find hosting or stand up a server to serve TwiML or any other HTTP-based responses. With Functions, you no longer have to worry about maintaining or scaling your web infrastructure—it's all managed seamlessly by Twilio, scaling with your use case.

Typical use cases include manipulating voice calls, serving up tokens for our mobile SDKs, or invoking the Twilio REST API in response to an event, such as an inbound SMS.
