AWS Setup

1. Create an endpoint Lambda function on AWS.
   • For the Runtime, select Provide your own bootstrap on Amazon Linux 2 under Custom runtime.
   • For the Architecture, select x86_64.
   • Under Advanced Settings, select:
     • Enable function URL
       • Auth type: NONE
       • Invoke mode: BUFFERED (default)
       • Enable Configure cross-origin resource sharing (CORS)
2. Create a task Lambda function on AWS.
   • For the Runtime, select Provide your own bootstrap on Amazon Linux 2 under Custom runtime.
   • For the Architecture, select x86_64.
3. Archive the bootstrap binary in a .zip file and upload it to the Lambda functions.
4. In the Configuration tab, add in the required environment variables to the Lambda functions.
5. Give the role the endpoint Lambda function is using permission to run the task Lambda function.
6. Give the role the task Lambda function is using permission to access the AWS resources it will need.
7. Change the Timeout of the task Lambda function to a value greater than 3 seconds.
   • The Timeout of the endpoint Lambda function can stay as 3 seconds to follow Discord's requirements.
8. Get the endpoint Lambda function's Function URL and add it to the Discord bot's Interactions Endpoint URL in the Discord Developer Portal.
   • If it saves properly, that indicates your Lambda function is properly configured to act as a Discord bot.
