Multi-purpose discord bot designed for hardware enthusiasts and gamers while still being able to handle a community.
Pegasus is a showcase of API integration depth. It features a complete Valorant match and player data engine, and a Geizhals price monitoring integration for hardware enthusiasts. It requires sophisticated caching strategies to stay within rate limits.
System Architecture
A modular microservices architecture where the Discord interface, Valorant scraper, and Price monitor run as independent services. They share a central Redis cache and PostgreSQL database for persistent state and community moderation logs.
Valorant Data
Real-time match telemetry and player statistics parser.
Geizhals Sync
Price monitoring and hardware tracking integration.
Advanced Mod
Custom designed warning systems and community management tools.
Technical Challenges
Dynamic Scraping
Engineered a headless browser cluster to bypass complex bot protection on hardware retail sites.
Event Storms
Implemented a prioritized queue system to handle massive spikes in Discord gateway events without dropping commands.
