bot-bluesky-live

A Bluesky bot — whenever King Gizzard plays a song on stage, this bot will post the song name!

Runs on AWS Lambda.

Brought to you by the KGLW.net Tech & Live-Coverage Teams!

TODO

• "start time" post
  • "doors time" post?
• songs are replies to previous song
• robustly check whether the show is currently-active (i.e. we're not editing an old show / accidentally modifying an upcoming show)
• idempotency check before posting? (mastodon has this)

Docs

• Bluesky agent API: @proto/api NPM package
• test suite: Vitest

Ops

Run on AWS Lambda.

1. Create new Lambda Function...

• pick a name like "kglwBotBlueskyLive"
• using Node.js (v20.x at time of writing)
• check-on "Enable function URL" ("Use function URLs to assign HTTP(S) endpoints to your Lambda function") ... once you've created this function, the "function URL" will be something like https://HASH_HERE.lambda-url.us-west-1.on.aws/
• Auth type: NONE — "Lambda won't perform IAM authentication on requests to your function URL. The URL endpoint will be public unless you implement your own authorization logic in your function"
  • TODO this is an area for improvement...
• other options left to default…
  • arch: x86_64
  • execution role: "Create a new role with basic Lambda permissions" ("Lambda will create an execution role … with permission to upload logs to Amazon CloudWatch Logs")
  • Invoke mode: BUFFERED

2. set env vars so the Lambda Function sees 'em...
