Plan of building a discord microservice bot, as described in Microservice Bots

• 🔵 Discord
  • 🌁 Gateway
  • 📞 REST API
• 📐 Architecture

🔵 Discord §

🌁 Gateway §

gateway discord docs

🛠 Use: §

• Source of events
• Small set of actions
• Initial data
  • guilds & their properties

🔗 Connection §

• type
  • websocket (json/etf)
  • decompress packages? → zlib/zlib-stream
• how
  1. IDENTIFY → new session
  2. if disconnected → can RESUME

🛑 Limitations §

• max 1000x IDENTIFY per 24h (2000 over 100k servers)
• IDENTIFY 5s cooldown

✨ Sharding §

= spreading load over pool of connections → multiple gateway connections, each with subset of whole data

• recommended: 1000 servers/shard

📞 REST API §

🛠 Use §

• execute actions (e.g. send msg)

🛑 Limitations §

• depend on route, dynamic
• → use cache to store info

💾 Cache §

store as much info as possible to avoid API calls

e.g.

• users, servers…
