Serverless Toolkit

What is the Serverless Toolkit?

The Serverless Toolkit is CLI tooling to help you develop locally and deploy to the Twilio Runtime.

There are two ways you can use the toolkit. If you are already using the Twilio CLI, you can install it via a plugin. Alternatively, you can use the toolkit as a standalone using twilio-run via npm or another Node.js package manager.

Throughout the docs, you can switch in the code snippets between Twilio-CLI and Bash Session to get the commands for both versions.

Let's work together

Everything in this toolkit is released under Twilio Labs and fully open-source. If you find any problems with this, please file an issue or even create a pull request to work together with us on the toolkit. We would love to hear your ideas and feedback!

Project Structure & Contributing

This project is a monorepo, meaning it contains multiple packages in one repository. It consists out of the following packages:

• twilio-run - The underlying CLI tool
• plugin-serverless - Exposes the twilio-run CLI into the Twilio CLI
• create-twilio-function - Handles templating and bootstrapping of new projects and Functions
• serverless-api - The module used to interact with the actual Twilio Functions and Assets API
• runtime-handler - A version of the Twilio Functions Runtime Handler to be used in local development
• plugin-assets - A plugin for the Twilio CLI to easily upload assets to a Twilio Assets service
• serverless-runtime-types - TypeScript definitions to define globals for the Twilio Serverless runtime

Also part of the Serverless toolkit, but in another repository:

• function-templates - The templates used by the toolkit to create new Functions

To understand more about the structure and the design of the Toolkit check out the design documentation.

Setup & Development

This project uses lerna as a tool to manage the monorepo. If you are unfamiliar with the tool, start by checking out the the lerna docs.
