Infrastructure

Built in US East, close to Discord's API

Your bot has 3 seconds to respond to a slash command, so distance to Discord matters. Every plan runs in US East Ashburn, close to Discord's API, on AMD Ryzen 9 hardware.

Why it matters

The 3-second interaction deadline

When a user triggers a slash command, Discord sends an HTTP POST to your bot. You have exactly 3 seconds to respond with an HTTP 200 OK. If your bot needs to query a database, call an AI model, or process data, every millisecond of network latency eats into that window.

Gateway API: persistent WebSocket via Cloudflare Anycast, location-independent
REST API: every HTTP request goes to Discord's API, so the distance to it adds up
Interaction API: must respond within 3 seconds or the interaction fails visibly

Network path

Your bot → Cloudflare Anycast Edge

WebSocket (Gateway)

Nearest edge

HTTPS (REST API)

Short hop

Running close to Discord's API keeps the network part of each REST call short, so more of your 3-second window is left for your bot's own logic.

RestartsAutomatic after a crash (Growth and Pro)

A bot hosted in Europe or Asia sits further from Discord's API, so every REST call travels further before your bot has done any work. Being close to Discord's API is the whole reason US East exists as a location.

DDoS protection

Attack traffic is filtered before it reaches your bot's container. On by default, no configuration needed.

Container isolation

Each bot runs in its own isolated container with its own CPU and RAM limits, separate from other customers' bots.

Automatic restart

On Growth and Pro, monitoring spots a crash and restarts your bot process automatically, without you logging in.
