Apex vs Twilio Functions: What are the differences?
Developers describe Apex as "Serverless Architecture with AWS Lambda". Apex is a small tool for deploying and managing AWS Lambda functions. With shims for languages not yet supported by Lambda, you can use Golang out of the box. On the other hand, Twilio Functions is detailed as "Serverless environment to build and run Twilio applications". Developers provide Twilio with Node.js code for handling their communication events, such as an incoming phone call, and Twilio executes this code on their behalf, ensuring a seamless communications experience.
Apex and Twilio Functions can be primarily classified as "Serverless / Task Processing" tools.
Some of the features offered by Apex are:
- Supports languages Lambda does not natively support via shim, such as Go
- Binary install (useful for continuous deployment in CI etc)
- Project level function and resource management
On the other hand, Twilio Functions provides the following key features:
- No servers to manage
- Lower latency
- Complete runtime environment
Apex is an open source tool with 7.84K GitHub stars and 568 GitHub forks. Here's a link to Apex's open source repository on GitHub.
