Here is a story from using the Plivo APIs, that convinced me that these guys are for enterprises and serious businesses.
We were looking at different telephony APIs to build a highly concurrent calling system. With Twilio, we could only send one phone number in a single http call. That was a bummer. With Plivo, we could send as many phone numbers as a http POST can handle, and let their APIs handle the high number of calls per second. We were pleasantly surprised that they do so much of the heavy lifting.
- josh2600 13y agoWhen you say high number of calls per second, what are you referring to... There are people in our industry that think high is 30 and there are people who think high is 10000. Can you give an order of magnitude?
- ad93611 13y agoWe are currently testing with 50 calls per second(cps) and Plivo just eats it up! We'll crank it up more later this month. I don't know what is the max cps Plivo can handle though.
- josh2600 13y agoI doubt anyone knows max cps numbers on any platform. It's usually a question of adding more servers until the software breaks, but there are lots of strategies. It always comes back to design. Thanks for sharing :).
