How to host a Nodejs Discord bot on AWS Lambda (free-tier)

[@jaylon1016]

i had no idea lambda went this deep. most tutorials i've seen are just interactions between AWS services but i didn't know you could just upload your whole project like that.

yeah. its pretty neat stuff. can be a bit limiting in a few areas. but for a simple slash commands its great.

is this still work in 2025 ? I have always got interactions_endpoint_url: The specified interactions endpoint url could not be verified.

hey, this should still work however I haven't messed with it in a bit. Discord has made changes on their end so it would most likely be those things not working e.g. registering commands (new contexts), developer portal layout, new app settings (verifications, activities), etc. I also ended up moving to Python over Nodejs, as Python was performing my commands faster without timing out.

Thanks for the guide! I'll try to do the same thing but using AWS SAM CLI
