Nova

What is nova ?

Nova is a complete framework for building reliable and stable discord bots using a services based system to operate all the components needed to operate a discord such as the discord gateway, new discord webhooks for receiving interactions. Using a traditional infrastructure (sharder / process), we can quickly reach bottlenecks when we scale to multiple thousands of shards. Nova is a way to avoid these problems by building a scale-first discord framework that creates an environment that allow better testing, reliability and operations easier.

Advantages

With the help of Nova, you can achieve a number of things, such as

• Scaling of workers independent of the number of shards
• zero-login updates
• Automatic shards scaling
• Shared cache for the whole bot (without broadcastEval and other unsafe methods)
• Stateless workers, easier to test
• Distributed rest rate-limiting
• Easier fine-tuned monitoring using cloud-native technologies
• Languages agnostic apis

How did we solve this ?

Nova separates the gateway into multiple smaller components corresponding to each discord apis
