## What is the Serverless Toolkit?

The Serverless Toolkit is CLI tooling to help you develop locally and deploy to [Twilio Functions & Assets](/docs/serverless/functions-assets).

There are two ways you can use the toolkit. If you are already using the [Twilio CLI](/docs/twilio-cli), you can install it via a plugin. Alternatively, you can use the toolkit as a standalone using [`twilio-run`](https://npm.im/twilio-run) via npm or another Node.js package manager.

Throughout the docs, we primarily use the Twilio CLI unless pointed out.

## Let's work together

Everything in this toolkit is released under [Twilio Labs](https://github.com/twilio-labs/serverless-toolkit) and fully open-source. If you find any problems with this, please [file an issue](https://github.com/twilio-labs/serverless-toolkit/issues) or even [create a pull request](https://github.com/twilio-labs/serverless-toolkit#-contributing) to work together with us on the toolkit. We would love to hear your ideas and feedback!
