Launch of New Book for building Serverless Community Apps with Discord and Stripe APIs

ELSOUL LABO B.V. (based in Amsterdam, Netherlands, CEO: Fumitake Kawasaki) has showcased new possibilities in community app development integrating Discord and Stripe's APIs using its open-source TypeScript-based serverless framework, "Skeet".

This integration enables developers to seamlessly build chatbots in a serverless environment and integrate payment processing systems. Notably, this approach leverages the core strengths of the Skeet framework, enhancing development efficiency while reducing costs.

This new development model, combining the flexibility of open-source software with the efficiency of cloud-based services, is expected to bring new possibilities to the developer community.

Overview of the book

In this book, we explore the sophisticated use of serverless technology in conjunction with the Skeet framework. It covers a wide range of topics, including integrating Discord bots with Stripe payment systems, setting up bots in serverless environments, implementing payment processing, webhooks, and managing role collaboration.

The book provides a practical and comprehensive hands-on guide, accessible to beginners and advanced users alike, to experience the benefits of efficiency and cost reduction in serverless development. Notably, the applications built in this book operate with just two functions (Firebase Functions - 1GB), showcasing Skeet's strength in realizing eco-friendly development environments. Dive into the world of serverless with this book and gain practical knowledge for environmentally friendly application development.

The book is currently available for free on Zenn. Experience the possibilities of serverless app development through its content.

Skeet - TypeScript Serverless Framework

Skeet is an open-source serverless framework in TypeScript. This framework allows rapid development of everything from API servers to web, iOS, and Android apps.

TypeScript enhances code quality and maintainability through static typing, detecting errors early. Skeet further adopts cutting-edge technologies like GraphQL and Firestore, offering developers the best development experience. It also facilitates easy development of AI applications utilizing ChatGPT and Vertex AI, and Web3 dApps using blockchain technologies like Solana, being a modular and expandable contemporary application framework.

You can experience a demo of an AI chat app built with Skeet using the following link. It supports PaLM2, Vertex AI, and OpenAI's ChatGPT (GPT-4 Turbo, GPT-4, GPT-3.5 Turbo), allowing you to compare and examine the features of these technologies.
