Summary

Twilio, a cloud communication platform provider, is used by Simple Hotline, a service that helps coordinate people such as John Sheehan's softball league members when inclement weather hits and game rescheduling is necessary. The pay-as-you-go model of Twilio works well for this purpose, as the league only pays when bad weather occurs, which happens infrequently. This has helped the league save money in a time of financial constraint.
