BotTraffic
Smart routing for Chatbot webhooks #chatbot #webhook #crossplatform #abtesting #canary
Intro
BotTraffic is a lightweight rule-based engine to route incoming webhooks traffic to backend services, allowing teams to perform AB Testing, Blue-Green deployment, Canary Releasing.
Alongside routing the goal is to support 'shadowing' (send clone of a request to a service ie metrics, auditing, post-analysis) and 'filtering' (filter incoming requests ie pre-processing).
In a nutshell:
- lightweight framework
- multi channel (Facebook, DialogFlow, Microsoft BOT, Chatfuel, Telegram, Slack, etc..)
- routing, shadowing and filtering based on rules: applicable to request parameters, headers and payload. Various operators are supported (ie EQUAL, EQUAL_IGNORE_CASE, START_WITH, etc..)
- extendable event management (with built-in Prometheus events)
- GET and POST support
See Examples to understand more.
