“After analyzing several solutions, we felt that Twilio had the stability we needed, with security, high performance, and infrastructure. Not to mention that we could also explore other communication solutions, leaving our operation centralized in one partner.”

Vinícius Reis, Tech Lead

“If you're talking about building WhatsApp infrastructure and architecture, it would seem crazy—you need way more than two developers. But, because Twilio is so easy to build with, we were able to do it with two developers, and quickly.”
