I've also made a Discord slash commands bot recently in a single AWS Lambda (Node.js) and a DynamoDB table (all free tier). My only dependency is `discord-interactions`, to validate requests, which Discord requires.

I like the serverless approach because if the bot commands are only used a few times a day, the lambda only has to run a few times a day and takes at most 0.5 sec (Discord has a 3 second timeout for slash commands)

Yes, serverless is a great match, especially for human-triggered slash commands.

BTW, Fusebot is not subject to the 3s limitation. We take care of responding to Discord within 3s and then let you run your code for longer than 3s and send any number of responses afterwards.
