🚀 Sharding Support Release

Overview

This release introduces sharding support to ValkyrieCore, enabling better scalability and performance for larger bots. The bot now uses discord-hybrid-sharding to distribute load across multiple processes while maintaining efficient resource usage.

🎯 Changes

Added

• Sharding Support: Integrated discord-hybrid-sharding for efficient bot scaling
• Cluster Management: Added cluster manager to handle shard distribution
• Automatic Shard Calculation: Bot now automatically calculates required shards based on server count
• Worker Mode: Implemented worker-based sharding for better performance

Modified

• Client Configuration: Updated Discord.js client to support sharding
• Process Management: Improved process handling with cluster-based architecture

⚙️ Technical Details

• Each cluster handles 2 shards by default
• Uses worker threads for better performance
• Automatic shard calculation (1 shard per 2500 servers)
• Automatic cluster calculation based on shard count

📝 Notes

• No breaking changes to existing bot functionality
• Command handling remains the same from a user perspective
• Improved performance for bots with many servers
• Better resource utilization across CPU cores

🔧 Configuration

The sharding is configured automatically, but you can adjust shardsPerClusters in Cluster.ts if needed:

const manager = new ClusterManager(`${dir}/Main.ts`, {
    totalShards: 'auto',  // Automatically calculated
    totalClusters: 'auto', // Automatically calculated
    shardsPerClusters: 2,  // Adjustable based on needs
    mode: 'worker',
    token: process.env.BOT_TOKEN,
});
