Serverless Slackbot

This project mimics the Hubot model on Slack using a lot of buzz words including: Serverless.js, AWS API Gateway, AWS Lambda, AWS DynamoDB, AWS SNS, and Slack Events API.

How It Works

Each custom script will run in it's own Lambda process, which is triggered by an SNS notification. Everything runs through a single Lambda handler, so you'll only see one function for everything.

  • OAUTH: API Gateway > Lambda > DynamoDB > API Gateway (redirects)
  • Slack Events: API Gateway > Lambda > DynamoDB > SNS
  • Custom Scripts: SNS > Lambda > Custom Script

Quick Start

  1. Get Serverless.js setup
  2. Create a Slack App
