Discord Bot on App Engine Starter Template

This is a barebone template for building Discord Bots on App Engine

How to use it

1. Create a Google Cloud account: https://cloud.google.com/
2. Install gcloud SDK for Google Cloud: https://cloud.google.com/sdk/docs/install, and initialise it.
3. Follow the App Engine Quickstart, either node.js or Python, to create a Google Cloud project.
4. Clone this repository and, in the terminal, change to the default(for node.js) or python directory.
5. Deploy the Discord bot using the following commands

gcloud app create --project=[YOUR_PROJECT_ID]
gcloud app deploy

Important: if you deploy the python bot before you deploy the node.js bot, remove the service line in app.yaml
