Serverless Discord interactions framework for AWS Lambda

📡 Cordless

A serverless Discord interactions framework for AWS Lambda

Cordless lets you build Discord bots without running a server — just functions, deployed to Lambda.

No WebSockets. No stateful runtime. No gateway sharding.

Just HTTP → functions → responses.

---

✨ Why Cordless?

Traditional Discord bots require:

• persistent servers
• WebSocket connections
• intent configuration
• runtime state management

Cordless flips that model:

Discord sends events → AWS Lambda runs your code → you return a response

---

⚡ Core idea

Discord Interaction → API Gateway → AWS Lambda → Cordless Router → Your Functions → JSON Response back to Discord

---

🚀 Quickstart

Install

pip install cordless

---

Create your first bot

from cordless import Cordless

bot = Cordless()

@bot.command("ping")
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("pong")

---

Lambda entry point

from cordless import Cordless

bot = Cordless()

@bot.command("ping")
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send("pong")

def handler(event, context):
    return bot.handle(event)

---

🧩 Commands

@bot.command("hello")
async def hello(ctx):
    await ctx.send("Hello world!")

---

🔘 Buttons

Send a button:

from cordless.ui import Button

@bot.command("ping")
async def ping(ctx):
    await ctx.send(
        "pong",
        components=[
            Button(label="Edit", custom_id="edit_ping")
        ]
    )

---

Handle button clicks:

@bot.button("edit_ping")
async def edit_ping(ctx):
    await ctx.edit("edited")

---

🧠 Key concepts

Stateless by design:

• interaction payload
• custom_id routing
• Lambda invocation context

No WebSocket required.

💡 Philosophy

Cordless is built around one idea:

Discord apps should feel like serverless functions, not servers.
