(Sub-)mm interferometry is the most favorable technique to investigate the earliest stages of massive star formation. I will outline general applications in that field and discuss results of different sub-topics (hot core chemistry and massive molecular outflows). Furthermore, recent data obtained with the Submillimeter Array will be shown to present the unique capabilities of this new instrument. Finally, I will give a short outlook on the main physical topics of massive star formation to be tackled with (sub-)mm interferometry within the next decade.
