Bots on Slack can help your team be more productive and accomplish more tasks. They can help you increase visibility into your operations or help your customers easily get information through a natural, conversational interface.

However, building and running bots can be a time consuming and difficult task. Developers must provision, manage, and scale the compute resources that run the bot’s code.

Wouldn’t it be nice if you could focus on building great bots without worrying about how to run and scale them? AWS Lambda is a service that lets you run code without provisioning or managing servers, and you only pay for the compute time you consume. With Lambda, it’s easy to build and run bots. You just upload your code and Lambda takes care of everything required to run and scale your code with high availability.
