Summary

The Twilio company has acquired twimlbin.com, a tool that allowed developers to rapidly prototype solutions like call forwarding or conference calls without needing to spin up a server. The acquisition led to the launch of native TwiML Bins in the Twilio Console, which provides a native experience for hosting static TwiML documents and makes it easier for developers to try out Twilio without infrastructure expertise. With TwiML Bins, developers can now easily create Voice or SMS applications without needing to operate infrastructure, using webhooks as an alternative to traditional server-side code. The new feature is designed to address the challenges of getting started quickly with Twilio and building reliable solutions at scale.
