I've been working on something similar as a side project. A serverless Discord Bot solution that runs a custom made SDK. We take a very similar approach to Cloudflare Workers where we run user's applications in v8 isolates.

I'm the only person working on this, and mostly in my spare time, but check it out: https://pylon.bot/

Here's the SDK docs so you can see the breadth of what's possible:

- https://pylon.bot/docs/intro - https://pylon.bot/docs/reference/index.html

We're still in beta, but a lot of people are using the bot today. One thing that's great is that you can rapidly iterate on your code without "restarting" the bot because of how the infrastructure is set up. Deploy of your script takes less than a second. And, we support more than just what appears to be registering a single slash command :P

I am reminded of YAGPDB.xyz https://docs.yagpdb.xyz/reference/custom-command-examples

It uses Golang text/template functions to do some eay bot extension. It's less complete than this but it's also got a lot more boilerplate out of the way.

I can confirm this is super cool! We added the pylon bot to our server and so far it was the best bot that we ever had! Almost 99% of uptime. Thank you so much for this!

Do you have any technical docs on how you use V8 in this case?

Very cool. I will check it out.
