Project Overview

This project contains a Discord bot that is built and deployed using the AWS Serverless Application Model (SAM). The bot's source code runs on AWS Lambda, and it utilizes listener servers as intermediaries between the Lambda function and messaging services like Discord.

The listener servers receive events and messages from Discord and forward them to the AWS Lambda function, which processes the data and sends responses back through the listener servers to Discord. This architecture allows for a scalable and efficient bot that can handle a large number of events and messages.

Start

1. python3 install-requirements.py to install all the dependencies required for the project.
2. sam build to build the AWS SAM project, which will package and prepare the Lambda function and related resources.
3. sam deploy to create or update the stack in AWS, deploying the Lambda function and configuring the required resources and permissions.

Environment variables

Create a .env file in the root directory to store environment variables. Add the following variables:

• BOT_TOKEN: The Discord bot token for authenticating your bot with the Discord API
• POLYBOT_ENDPOINT: The endpoint for your Polybot API

For example: BOT_TOKEN=your_discord_bot_token_here POLYBOT_ENDPOINT=https://your_polybot_endpoint_here

Make sure to replace the placeholders with your actual bot token and Polybot API endpoint.

Start listeners

cd listenerServers && python3 discordListener.py to start the bot listener in Discord
