We are excited to share the Twilio engineering blog, which will cover unique challenges of bridging old realtime telecom with modern web technologies using cloud infrastructure. Building a highly automated, self-healing distributed platform has required us to develop an engineering organization and processes for telecom-grade scale and availability. We'll be covering topics such as no-downtime philosophy, asynchronous programming at scale, high availability in the cloud, and designing great APIs. As an engineering-driven company, we'll also share our software development lifecycle for the cloud, DevOps practices, and continuous integration and deployment for APIs.
