Twilio Brings Voice and Messaging Communications to Amazon Web Services Developers

Twilio, the Communications API Platform, today 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.

Harnessing the power of two of these platforms makes it easier for developers to communicate and create powerful applications with no upfront costs.

The combination of reliable, scalable infrastructure services along with Twilio's powerful communications infrastructure is further accelerating this trend," said Jeff Lawson, Twilio CEO.

With all the innovation in both the AWS and Twilio communities, we can't wait to see what developers will build."

"We've been extremely impressed by the innovation in both the Twilio platform and in what developers are building with the platform," said Terry Wise, Director, Worldwide Partner Ecosystem, AWS. "The combined power both of Twilio and AWS provide an exciting opportunity for developers and enterprises to build a new generation of communications into their applications."
