One critical piece that we’ve spent a great deal of effort reworking and scaling is the data pipeline through which calls and messages are transitioned and stored. We’d like to share the approach we took and some of the lessons we learned.

Making API Errors More Transparent

There are a few keys to going through this process efficiently. One is to have a tight feedback loop between writing code and learning what went wrong; this is why developers put so much stake in ensuring that tests don't hit the disk or go over the network, things that slow down tests and hurt this loop.

So, you want to write an HTTP Client

It's a rare website or company today that doesn't have to make HTTP requests to another party. Phone apps need to communicate with a server.

Perhaps just as bad, when sending chess pieces to Twilio from my phone, they were sent to my TwiML endpoint incorrectly encoded.

Becoming an Engineer

I started working as an engineer at Twilio this summer. It’s my first engineering job, and I love creating internal tools that make our business more efficient. However, I didn’t start out as a computer science undergrad, and I hadn't written code professionally before.

When you build a product for technical users, documentation is extremely important. If people can't figure out how to use your product you won't have any users no matter how amazing your product actually is.

Scaling High-Availability Infrastructure in the Cloud

As more and more of the services we use every day move online and into the cloud, the design and operation of highly-available infrastructure is becoming increasingly critical. However, downtime is common even at the biggest sites on the Internet. Why is high-availability so hard to achieve?

APIs are for human beings (too)

Computers don’t care about API design. Convenient serialization formats, sane parameter names, and a RESTful interface mean nothing to a robot. These aspects of an API are not meant for a machine, they’re meant for you – the developer. APIs should be for human beings first and computers second.

Making a Local Web Server Public with Localtunnel

This week we thought we’d share some background on localtunnel, a project I wrote outside of Twilio to help deal with the challenges of developing against webhook-based APIs (such as Twilio’s) when coding behind a NAT.
