Cresta’s Voice Platform powers real-time intelligence for contact centers—but how does it handle massive amounts of voice traffic at scale? 🔊 For AI-driven contact centers, the ability to route, process, and manage voice interactions efficiently is essential for delivering real-time intelligence. In part one of our Voice Platform blog series, Florin Szilagyi, Head of R&D in our Romania office, breaks down how Cresta: ✅ Manages customer-specific subdomains to ensure data sovereignty. ✅ Leverages AWS Route 53 and Elastic Load Balancers for smart routing. ✅ Maintains security and compliance through Kubernetes ingress controllers for seamless scalability. Understanding these infrastructure decisions is key to building AI-powered enterprise applications that can scale effectively.
