Comment on Ask HN: How would you design a scalable chat bot for something like Discord?parent

Comments

Yeah I have some projects at work which manage containers in this kind of fashion, which is probably why I'm applying that to this and over-engineering - which I almost always do.

The current bot could work with just passing in a token, and then fetching its settings from a REST API (for the web bit) instead of just a JSON file - my only issue with this approach is I think it'd require the user to setup a developer app with discord user, instead of the nice seamless 'invite and it works' approach other bots seem to have.
