I kept rebuilding the same PDF plumbing — so I turned it into one API

I kept rebuilding the same PDF plumbing — so I turned it into one API

Short summary

Nightfall Security is a Discord protection bot built with a distributed multi-process architecture to survive raids and event spikes that crash single-process bots. The design isolates gateway intake, handler processing, and database operations into separate processes with a supervisor for auto-restart and load redistribution. Real-world incidents—a handler crash during a raid and a DB lock during mass-bans—demonstrated the architecture's resilience.

  • •Multi-process architecture isolates gateway, handlers, DB worker, and supervisor for crash containment
  • •Async message queues connect processes; supervisor auto-restarts crashed components
  • •Real incident examples: handler crash and DB lock both handled without downtime
