Twilio virtualizes all infrastructure needed for business communications, including hardware, software, carrier connectivity, and phone numbers, in a cloud-based, on-demand, global environment, exposed through a simple-to-use communications API platform.  The updated Twilio module for Parse Cloud Code makes it easier than ever before to develop mobile applications that integrate with all Twilio services like Twilio Client, Twilio Voice and Messaging.

The new module remains 100% backward compatible with the previous version., and was formally announced today at the third annual TwilioCon user conference

Kevin Whinnery, developer evangelist at Twilio was the primary author of the updated module. "The new Twilio for Cloud Code module is particularly great for mobile developers on iOS and Android," said Whinnery. "They can now use Parse for their Twilio Client VoIP apps without needing to set up a server."

For developers whose apps require features such as interactive voice response, mobile app distribution via SMS, call automation or two-factor authentication, Twilio's simple REST API delivers a flexible, scalable and reliable way to access global telecommunications networks.

"Cloud Modules let developers easily integrate third-party services and libraries into their Parse App. One of the top requests we get from app developers is to make it easier to integrate voice and messaging functionality, so we're thrilled to release an updated Twilio Module that makes adding SMS and telephone features to apps dead simple," said Ashley Smith, Director of Marketing, Parse. "For many developers, voice and messaging features are critical to their apps, but they don't have the time or resources to maintain servers and backend code. The new Cloud Module lets you harness all of Twilio's functions, including VoIP, Voice and Messaging, without having to manage backend infrastructure."

"Parse is an excellent platform for developers," said Twilio CEO Jeff Lawson. "With the Twilio Cloud Module, developers can bring their Twilio Voice and Messaging apps to market and scale their businesses faster than ever--we can't wait to see what Parse developers build with Twilio."
