A single API request is just a millisecond of data, but at 60,000 requests per second, it becomes a massive engineering challenge in reliability.
Twilio's API Gateway serves as the front door for over 20 billion requests a week, sustaining immense peaks while providing a seamless entry point for developers. This session goes under the hood of a four-year migration from a legacy system built on a decade of technical debt to a modern, hardened ingress stack. Learn how we successfully untangled ten years of complexity to simplify Twilio’s enterprise ingress—all with zero disruptions to customer traffic.
