We’re on a mission to find the best serverless bot for Slack! We're seeking the best bots that run on the Slack platform and which are serverless in their implementation. Enter the competition by submitting your serverless bot and you'll have the chance to win prizes and more!
A serverless bot is a bot that runs without the need for provisioning and managing servers. In order to run your bot, normally you must provision your own Amazon EC2 instances and then configure and scale them yourself, which is time consuming and potentially costly. Serverless bots run on AWS Lambda, which lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers.
The prizes for the winning submissions include complimentary tickets to AWS re:Invent in Las Vegas, NV on 11/28 – 12/2. AWS re:Invent is the largest global cloud computing conference and features keynote announcements, training and certification opportunities, more than 400 technical sessions, a partner expo, after-hours events, and more. Winners will also be honored during the Serverless Technical Deep Dive Day at re:Invent. Learn more about prizes by visiting our hackathon page below.
Wouldn’t it be nice if you could focus on building great chatbots without worrying about how to run and scale them? AWS Lambda is a service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers, and you only pay for the compute time you consume. With Lambda, it’s easy to build and run chatbots. You just upload your code and Lambda takes care of everything required to run and scale your code with high availability. See our sample bot code for a guide on how to get started.
Getting started is easy. Visit our hackathon web page below to see the competition rules and instructions on how to enter.
