Discord Bot and a website communication, what should be the system design [closed]
I'm building a website that lets users add new items in their profiles. Users can also do the same using Discord bot's commands. In both cases the Discord bot sends a message New item added by @user in a certain channel. I'm thinking of how to design the application. Should I have the POST addItem endpoint on the website's server which the bot would call? onNewDiscordMessage(): if (addItemCommand): sendPostRequest(websiteUrl, data) sendMessageInChannel("New item added!") But then the website would also need to have the message be sent in the Discord channel. Should I make the Discord bot a web app too? Have the bot be imported as a dependency and be manageable using POST endpoint? POST("send_discord_message") void sendMessage(String message) Or should I use RabbitMQ/Kafka queues for this? Or websockets/webhooks? EDIT: I'm using Spring Boot for website, Hibernate&PostgreSQL for persistence, and JDA for Discord Bot currently. No specific requirements apart from that. I'd like to understand what good design would look like for such an application.
