Summary

Serverless platforms offer flexibility and scalability for deploying webhooks, such as those used by Twilio services. This tutorial demonstrates how to create a Twilio SMS webhook using AWS Lambda and Python, leveraging the new function URLs feature. The process involves setting up a Python environment, installing dependencies, creating a Flask application, validating Twilio signatures, and deploying the function to AWS Lambda with the Serverless framework. Once deployed, the webhook can be configured for use with Twilio by copying its URL into the Twilio Console's messaging settings, allowing it to receive and respond to incoming SMS messages.
