Surge

The easiest SMS API for developers

[Luis @luisgnet]

YOO @surgeapi you’re the goat
three fucked up SMS registration providers later and I finally found one that actually works
incredible

Building an infrastructure startup means dealing with performance issues much faster than your typical SaaS startup.

In the last 7 days we've fixed memory leaks, increased our database size, moved queries to read replicas, and now I'm optimizing queries.

And it's a blast!

Surge is the shit! They responded to our support email in literally minutes, @dnsbty great work.

Used twilio for years with my larger company but its been an absolute pain in the ass with text from your plants my new LLC. Surge got us hooked up in basically no time. At first this was going to be an interim solution, but it might just be our permanent!

@VimalQ @dnsbty You're welcome to reach out via DM or email us [email protected]

Text messaging with AI is the next form factor to hit 1 billion users, I have 100% conviction on this.

The fact that every AI company isn’t doing this with urgency is absurd.

[Surge @surgeapi]

For those using our embeddable inbox component, we just released pagination for the conversations list.

Many of you won't notice much difference, but for some accounts with 10k+ open conversations, this decreases load times by an order of magnitude or more.

[Dennis Beatty @dnsbty]

I've heard this story several times and it's a large part of why I'm building @surgeapi. We always talk about the easy onboarding and simple integration, but excellent customer experience will always be at the center of what we do.

[Tobalo @tobalotv]

Glad to get this shipped.

Big thanks to @surgeapi and @dnsbty for being way easier to manage than Twilio’s UX blackhole.

Sign up and let me know any bugs/problems (:

If you need an SMS provider for your app you should check-out @surgeapi, they’re straightforward to implement and the team is super responsive and helpful

[Surge @surgeapi]

@ben__weddle @dnsbty We have a Typescript SDK now and a Python one just waiting to be released. Are there other languages you’d like to see?

[Surge @surgeapi]

@nicholashutfilz Any questions about Surge? If price is the most important thing for you we can point you to some other options, but we think we’re the easiest to work with and provide the best support, especially with carrier registration.

[Surge @surgeapi]

@DeenDot3 @dnsbty That should just take you to our email. Happy to help here if that works better for you though. What’s up?

[Dennis Beatty @dnsbty]

When it comes to API design, updates seem to be the least consistent across different APIs.

You want to update a contact's email while leaving their name, email, and phone number all the same. Which endpoint are you hitting?

@jurajmasar @dexhorthy @twilio We’re working on voice right now. Am I correct in assuming you would need programmatic voice and not just SIP?

[Surge @surgeapi]

@ValentinMabiala @dnsbty @ericdjav We can send SMS to DR Congo, but we're mostly focused on the US for now
