Twilio's CPaaS platform requires global infrastructure to provide customers with the best experience, both technically and from a regulatory view. To achieve this, Twilio has introduced two key components: Twilio Regions and Edge Locations. Twilio Regions allow data processing and storage in data centers around the world, enabling customers to control where their data is stored and processed. This can also increase application performance by reducing latency. In contrast, Edge Locations optimize data transfer between applications and Twilio's infrastructure, reducing latency and improving application performance. By using Twilio Regions and Edge Locations, developers can define where data will be ingested, processed, and stored, as well as how data gets to Twilio, making it easier to manage global infrastructure and improve application performance.
