Shiba - Serverless Slack ChatOps

on YouTube ↗27m

" summary

Malwarebytes replaces a legacy bot with a serverless Slack integration called Shiba that uses API Gateway → Lambda → DynamoDB, SQS for queuing and Jenkins for deploys, handling about 1800 deployments per month; development takes a single engineer ~20 hours to prototype and Shiba cuts hosting cost to roughly 98% cost savings versus the prior EC2/ECS setup. It addresses Slack’s 3‑second timeout with SQS/callbacks, mitigates cold starts with a warm‑lambda strategy, and exposes simple Python modules for extensions.
