Learn how to create and host a Python Discord bot on AWS Lambda.

In this tutorial, you'll learn how to create a Discord Bot using Discord's Interaction HTTP endpoints — and then host it for FREE on AWS Lambda. This is a super easy, cost-effective, and scalable way to host Discord bots.

We'll be using Flask and Python for the Discord bot, and AWS CDK to deploy our Lambda infrastructure.
