Discord VC Notification Bot

Python · discord.py · Flask · REST

Real-time event-driven Discord bot with async architecture and self-hosted HTTP keep-alive server.

Built an async Discord bot in Python using discord.py that listens to voice state change events and delivers rich embed notifications to a designated text channel
Designed clean separation of concerns: configuration constants, embed factory function, logging setup, and Flask keep-alive server each isolated in dedicated sections
Implemented a lightweight Flask HTTP server on a background daemon thread to maintain uptime on free-tier cloud platforms (Replit, Railway, Render)
Used discord.Embed with dynamic member metadata (avatar, display name, timestamp) and file attachments for visually polished notifications
Configured rotating file logging (32 MiB × 5 backups) with granular level control per module, enabling production-grade observability
Secured bot token using environment variable injection — zero hardcoded secrets in source code
