chatbot

a chat bot microservice

ideas

• Chat bot will use gRPC for communicating between services.
• Implement new responses as functions.
• One service can have many functions.
• Chat bot will listen to chat service for messages.
• Chat bot will listen for bot functions to register.
• When messages come in chatbot will forward the requests to the bot functions that match.
• Chat bot will ping services to check if they are healthy. After some amount of unhealthy pings it will remove the service from it's list.
• Bot functions should send their trigger regular expression, endpoint, and usage/help.
• Should follow 12factor.net spec.
