How to handle bot restarts with sharding
So basically we are running into the following issue:
We have an discord bot, built with typescript which is clusterd and sharded with
discord-hybrid-sharding. Also the bot runs in docker.
If we implement a bugfix or some new features, we would need to build a new image and restart the docker container completely which leads into a huge downtime since every shard needs to start up again.
I read/saw that `discord-hybrid-sharding' has a zero downtime restart/rollout option but i don't have a clue how this should work in our situation.
Maybe anyone knows how this can be handled or could share their solution.
Any help is greatly appreciated!4 Replies
- What's your exact discord.js
npm list discord.js and node node -v version?
- Not a discord.js issue? Check out #other-js-ts.
