Queued Interactions with Discord Bot via Redis - Community Discord Bot Development
In todays episode I'm adding on a Redis framework to allow communication from outside micro services into the discord bot. Following on from last episodes dockerisation, we're now developing out the functionality that allows that communication to happen - which is via pubsub processes with redis, and the discord task functionality.
Python is a wonderful language to code in, because its very clear which makes it maintainable. On top of that, Django is an excellent framework, allowing both rapid development, but also with low technical debt when it comes to filling out a production ready application. With Discord, it's a super powerful way to connect to other people, so mixing these three together is an excellent idea. Finally Redis and Maria are used to link up the two systems.
If you're learning python, building discord bots is as fun as webpages - you could build a game, or other interactions and just have fun! Thats what this channel is about, getting back to having fun with technology.
