What is flora? ​

flora is a fast and secure runtime that lets you write Discord bots for your servers using TypeScript, without worrying about infrastructure. Deploy scripts on a per-guild basis through a single bot, powered by V8 isolates for complete isolation between guilds.

INFO

flora is in early alpha. Expect breaking changes and rough edges as the foundations solidify.

Key Features ​

  • Each guild runs in its own V8 isolate with enforced resource limits and complete separation.
  • TypeScript SDK with global namespace - no imports needed, just write code and deploy it.
  • Rich SDK support for both prefix and slash commands with subcommands and options.
  • KV storage with expiration, metadata, and prefix filtering out of the box.
  • Schedule tasks with cron expressions for scheduled work.
  • Deploy, manage logs, and interact with KV storage through the flora CLI

How It Works ​

flora provides a runtime that:

  1. Isolates guild scripts - Each guild's bot script runs in its own V8 isolate with strict resource limits
  2. Handles Discord events - The runtime receives Discord gateway events and routes them to your handlers
  3. Exposes a clean SDK - Write TypeScript with global functions with: on(), slash(), and kv.store()
  4. Manages deployment - Use the flora CLI to bundle and deploy your scripts to specific guilds
typescript
// Your entire bot in one file
const ping = prefix({
  name: 'ping',
  description: 'Respond with pong',
  run: async (ctx) => {
    await ctx.reply('pong!')
  }
})

createBot({
  prefix: '!',
  commands: [ping]
})
