The Backend
At its core, Truth or Dare is just a webserver responding to HTTP Interactions. Whenever someone requests a question, Discord sends us a request, and the server responds with how the bot should respond.
We use Fastify in Typescript to handle up to 12 requests per second at peak hours with incredible performance. In fact, the interaction handler only uses 200mb of ram!
The interaction handler is open source at github.com/tandpfun/truth-or-dare.
Metrics Panel
Truth or Dare has an internal metrics panel displaying usage statistics powered by Grafana and Prometheus. It also looks cool.
