Bridging Legacy and Future Platforms
The next generation of the Twilio Console has been built with a Jamstack architecture, which pulls the UI into a frontend monolithic repo and loads navigation components from static assets. This allows teams to migrate at their own pace, rather than having to do a complete rewrite of the Console. The new architecture addresses issues such as performance impacting the customer experience, shared processes and tooling, and uneven developer effectiveness across the organization. By moving towards a Jamstack architecture, Twilio aims to improve performance globally and make it easier for teams to build on a shared set of tooling. The new console also enables teams to focus on creating business logic that benefits customers, rather than building entire React applications with state management from scratch.
