ServerlessToronto.org welcomes SmashingConf to Toronto

Serverless Toronto is honoured to welcome Phil Nash – SmashingConf presenter (https://smashingconf.com/toronto-2019/speakers/phil-nash/) and developer evangelist at Twilio (https://www.twilio.com/blog/author/pnash) to our meetup on Monday, June 24 📣

Twilio’s Backend-as-a-Service (BaaS) APIs power communications for over 40,000 businesses around the world – including Lyft, Airbnb, or Netflix! You can think of Twilio as “AWS for telecom”.

Phil’s informal talk will cover:
• A bit of history behind serverless products at Twilio today,
• Node.js-powered Twilio Functions (https://www.twilio.com/blog/start-a-new-twilio-functions-project-the-easy-way),
• intro to Autopilot - a new service from Twilio for building Omni-Channel Digital Assistants, AI-powered Chatbots, Conversational IVRs, and Alexa Skills (https://www.twilio.com/docs/autopilot), and
• a sneak peek of a feature Twilio will be launching in August (as long as we agree to not tweet about it 😄).
